    EP86 Japanese Te-form Practice

    Today, we’re practicing the Japanese Te-form! First, we’ll practice changing everyday verbs into the Te-form: kaeru → kaettetsukuru → tsukuttenomu → nondetaberu → tabetesuru → shiteiku → itte Then, we’ll use the Te-form to connect two everyday actions. For example: Asagohan o tsukutte, koohii o nomimasu.I make breakfast and then drink coffee. Ie ni kaette, terebi o mimasu.I go home and watch TV. Shigoto o shite, kaimono ni ikimasu.I work and then go shopping. I’ll give you a few seconds to think before giving you the answer, so try to answer out loud! The more you practice, the more naturally the Te-form will come out. If you’d like to study Japanese with me in a private lesson, I also offer lessons on italki. ⁠My italki profile If you enjoy the episode, please follow, like, and leave a comment.

    EP85 Japanese Te-form: Connect Actions

    Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Japanese て-form! In the previous episode, I talked about my daily life in Japanese and used the て-form many times: Asagohan o tsukutte, koohii o nomimasu.I make breakfast and then drink coffee. Ie ni kaette, sentaku ya souji o shimasu.I go home and do the laundry and cleaning. In this episode, we’ll look at how the て-form connects two actions and creates a natural flow from one action to the next. You’ll hear lots of useful everyday Japanese phrases, especially expressions that adults can use in daily life, work, family, shopping, and more. We’ll also briefly compare: A shite, B shimasu.A happens, and then B happens. and A shite kara, B shimasu.I do B after doing A. If you’ve heard the て-form before but still aren’t quite sure how to use it, this episode is for you! Listen, repeat, and try making your own sentences with the て-form. I also offer private Japanese lessons on italki.
