Review of verb groups, conjugational forms, and counters.


Students received review handouts of kanji (ones they had received before).  They wrote kanji they didn't yet know on the board.  Classmates together reminded each other of the pronunciations and meanings of various individual kanji and compounds.


Students asked to be reminded of adjectives and how they should be grammatically combined in sentences.


Students were reminded of ways of saying "and" depending on the part of speech, and ways of saying "but/however."
