In the high school unit, there is an introductory unit on language which requires you to guess at the meanings and uses of certain phrases and language we see throughout the interview. Please follow the language activities in the order that they occur in the packet.

Activity 1: Coming Up With Interview Questions

Azumi and Rie answered several questions for us in the interview, but something was missing--- the questions. Looking at their answers again, try to write the possible questions for those answers in Japanese.


Activity 2: Exploring the Vocabulary

After watching the videos, were there any words that you did not recognize? If there are, please write them down in Japanese, look them up in the dictionary, and write down their English meanings.

Activity 3: Exploring the Grammar

There are several grammar patterns and phrases found throughout the interview videos. Please watch the videos again and find these grammar patterns. After you do that, try to guess at their meanings and make sentences using them.

Activity 4: Eavesdropping

Pick one set of videos (either uniforms, free-time, clubs, or cleaning), and write down their transcripts in Japanese.
