This week's topics were
free time routines (beginner handout)
movies (intermediate handout)
In beginner class we talked about free time activities and routines, and the questions you usually ask. Please be careful when you use he or she, the sentences changes a little.
1. Do you go to Karaoke?
1. Does he go to Karaoke?
I never go to Karaoke, but my sister goes to Karaoke almost every week.
2. What kind of music do you like?
2. What kind of music does she like?
I like UK Rock, but my wife doesn't like it. She likes Enka.
3. How often do you go to Karaoke?
3. How often does she go to karaoke?
I go to Karaoke maybe once every three years. My husband goes once a month.
For a writing exercise, please write about this: Does your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend go to Karaoke? Or go drinking? Please tell me about his routines!
Other phrases we learned:
It depends (決まっていない、時と場合による）
It's a waste of money (お金のもったいない）
It's worth it （価値がある）
For intermediate class, we practiced two useful sentences:
Are there any movies that you would like to watch in the movie theatre?
Are there any movies that you have seen many times?
(関係代名詞：Are there any [good movies that you have seen recently])
Right now, there are a movie that I would like to watch in the movie theatre. The English name is "Where the wild things are" (怪獣たちのいるところ). It was directed by Spike Jonze, and it came out quite recently. This movie got very good reviews on the Internet. Unfortunately in Japan there is no subtitled version in theaters, only the dub version. I can't stand dubs (they sound so cheesy), so I will have to wait until the subtitled version comes out on DVD.
There a quite a few movies that I have seen many times. I'll talk about one of them.
It takes place in modern day Los Angeles, but it also takes place in the future sometimes.
Arnold Schwarznegger and Linda Hamilton are in the movie.
It's about a cyborg assassin who must protect a young boy from another cyborg assassin.
It came out a long time ago, maybe in 1991.
It was directed by James Cameron.
Do you know this movie?
Phrase of the week:
like you wouldn't believe (びっくりするぐらい）
I like this movie like you wouldn't believe.
I hate bad movies like you wouldn't believe.
THAT (そんなに）
Is it THAT good? (そんなにいいの？）
Yes, it's THAT good (そうだよ、そんなにいいよ！)
I don't like it THAT much. (そんなに好きじゃないよ！）
