| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Eric: Whoa Naomi-sensei! |
| Naomi: はい？(Hai?) |
| Eric: Hey, Lori didn’t really strike me as a picky type. |
| Naomi: あ～、そうですね。(Ā, sō desu ne.) |
| Eric: You know what I mean? |
| Naomi: She hates water and insects. |
| Eric: It seems like she was fine with snowboarding though, right? |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) |
| Eric: So I guess she likes snow. By the way, when is the snowboarding season here in Japan? |
| Naomi: It really depends on the area but I think it starts from December and ends in March, かな (ka na)? 12月から3月ですね。(Jū ni-gatsu kara san-gatsu desu ne.) |
| Eric: From December to March. So you think it will be too late to go in April. |
| Naomi: う〜んとねぇ。(Ūn to nee.) It depends on the climate of that year but some slopes are open unto early May. 5月まで大丈夫ですかね。(Go-gatsu made daijōbu desu ka ne.) |
| Eric: But you can expect powder snow in April or May though? |
| Naomi: だめですね。パウダースノーはないですね。(Dame desu ne. Paudā sunō wa nai desu ne.) |
| Eric: On to the vocabulary. |
| Naomi: 次は単語です。(Tsugi wa tango desu.) |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Eric: A bunch of katakana words today, right? |
| Naomi: はい。そうですね。(Hai. Sō desu ne.) |
| Eric: In the dialogue, we heard four words that sound a lot like English, Naomi-sensei. |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) The first one is スキー (sukī). |
| Eric: Which means to ski or skiing. |
| Naomi: ラフティング (rafutingu) |
| Eric: Rafting. |
| Naomi: キャンプ (kyanpu) |
| Eric: Camping. |
| Naomi: And ライフジャケット (raifu jaketto). |
| Eric: Life jacket. You know another word in the vocabulary was to hate, right? |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) |
| Eric: To dislike something a lot. |
| Naomi: 嫌い (kirai) |
| Eric: To hate, to dislike. |
| Naomi: The pronunciation is a bit tricky because we have a similar word which is きれい (kirei). |
| Eric: Well that’s almost like 嫌い (kirai). |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) きれい (kirei) is beautiful. |
| Eric: So let’s get this clear. To hate is |
| Naomi: 嫌い (kirai) |
| Eric: きらい (kirai) with an あ (a) sound right and beautiful is |
| Naomi: きれい (kirei) |
| Eric: きれい (kirei). And you know, what I just noticed, the intonation is also different. |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) きらい (kirai) |
| Eric: To dislike. It starts low and goes up. |
| Naomi: きれい (kirei) |
| Eric: Beautiful. It starts high and goes low. |
| Naomi: そうですね。(Sō desu ne.) |
| Eric: So really be careful with these two words. You don’t want to end up telling a boyfriend or girlfriend how much you hate their eyes. You don’t want to be explaining that. I am serious. So on to the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Eric: The focus of this lesson is expressing dislike. |
| Naomi: 私は水が嫌いです。(Watashi wa mizu ga kirai desu.) |
| Eric: I hate water. The phrase が嫌いです (ga kirai desu) can be used to talk about things that you don’t like and to talk about things that you do like, you can use |
| Naomi: が好きです (ga suki desu) |
| Eric: Which was covered in the previous lesson. |
| Naomi: Right. 私はスキーが好きです。(Watashi wa sukī ga suki desu.) |
| Eric: I like skiing. To express dislike, the thing you dislike is marked with subject marking particle が (ga) followed by 嫌いです (kirai desu). In the dialogue, Lori said |
| Naomi: 私は水が嫌いです。(Watashi wa mizu ga kirai desu.) |
| Eric: I hate water. I dislike water and as we have mentioned before, you can drop the subject. |
| Naomi: 私は (watashi wa) |
| Eric: And say |
| Naomi: 水が嫌いです (mizu ga kirai desu) |
| Eric: So if you dislike camping, |
| Naomi: キャンプが嫌いです。(Kyanpu ga kirai desu.) |
| Eric: If you hate bugs, |
| Naomi: 虫が嫌いです。エリックさん、何が嫌いですか。(Mushi ga kirai desu. Erikku-san, nani ga kirai desu ka.) What do you dislike or what do you hate? |
