N5 · Lesson 48

More School and Study

School and study words, the second set: tests, sentences and words, studying and practice, dictionaries and erasers. Mimi takes a test in class, studies with her friend in the afternoon, and practices her Hiragana at home. No new grammar this time — all 50 patterns are already out in the wild, so this lesson just practices them on new words.

Listen first

9:08 · Mimi's voice. Listen once through before reading anything — ears first, eyes second.

SpeakerPeek as much as you need — then fade the help.
