Feedback to questions about ...

... the stories or dialogs in the stories.
Learn the characters' names using the links in the each story's webpage. Watch the entire video and think about the story. Use your imagination. Conversations do not have to be "correct". They should, however, be interesting and full of details.

... vocabulary
Never study individual words. Learn setences and concentrate on the verbs and how noun phrases connect to them. Learn the verbs that are useful for the things you want to say. Use Target Sentences to expand your verb vocabulary.

... grammar.
Forget grammar rules and your grammar mistakes. Forget that you ever made any mistkakes, but pay attention to the grammar patterns that native speakers use. If you think they will be useful for the things you want to say, then learn them, ... practice them, ... use them.

... classwork.
Speak English ONLY during the 3-Minute Routine. Conversations are spontaneous, so do NOT plan them in Japanese.

... ??
Write conversation starters, not vague sentences. With a single sentence, you need to identify a specific scene clearly. Make sure that it is a scene you (and the people in your group might) really want to discuss.

... exams: There are two exams. All written. Usually scheduled for weeks 10 and 13.
