About this lesson

After work, a colleague invites Yui to eat and then to see a movie. She happily says yes.

How to practise

  1. Read how the pattern works on the first card, then listen to each example sentence.
  2. Repeat every example out loud in the 言ってみよう · Your turn pause: the pattern should start to feel automatic.
  3. At the end, check the common mistake and say the practice sentence yourself.
