Staying at home and getting the right information is hard for us here
in the Chicago area. Imagine what it
might be like to be in Tokyo, away from your own country, and trying to get
answers to your questions.
Here is a link to a news item about an informational phone line that
foreigners can call to get information. Click
on it, and look at it, but don’t worry about reading the whole thing. Just figure out how many languages are offered.
List 7 of them.
Japanese 3-4
You
will be doing the class assignments created by Yoko Sensei from now on.
Japanese 5-6
――こと が ある
This is a new expression, one that uses the plain past tense of a
verb. The past tense
short/informal/plain form of a verb, plus こと が ある, let’s you say that you had the
experience of doing something in the past.
The affirmative, that you HAVE HAD the experience, ends with あります
or ある。The negative, that you HAVE NOT
had the experience, ends with ありません
or ない。
Examples:
ラムネ を 飲んだ こと が あります か。Have you ever
drunk “Ramune”?
エスカルゴ を 食べた こと が ありません。I have never
eaten snails (“escargot” from French).
有名（ゆうめい）な 人 に 会った こと が ある の？Have you ever met
a famous person?
富士山（ふじさん）に のぼった こと が ない。I have never
climbed Mt. Fuji.
