Jadwal Pelajaran | JIKANWARI

Introduction

This tutorial is designed to help you learn how to state school subjects in Japanese, based on the content from the video "Jadwal Pelajaran | JIKANWARI" by Iin Lindina. The material follows the Nihongo Kira Kira textbook for tenth graders and focuses on expressing the schedule of subjects in Japanese. Whether you are a beginner or looking to refresh your language skills, this guide will provide you with clear steps and useful phrases.

Step 1: Understanding School Subjects in Japanese

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the names of common school subjects in Japanese. Here are some key terms:

• Mathematics - 数学 (すうがく, suugaku)
• Science - 科学 (かがく, kagaku)
• English - 英語 (えいご, eigo)
• Japanese - 日本語 (にほんご, nihongo)
• History - 歴史 (れきし, rekishi)
• Art - 美術 (びじゅつ, bijutsu)

Practical Tip

Write down these terms on flashcards and practice them daily to reinforce your memory.

Step 2: Formulating Sentences

Once you know the school subjects, you can start forming basic sentences about your schedule.

• Use the structure:
  • "Subject + は + Day + です."

For example:

• 数学は月曜日です (すうがくはげつようびです, Suugaku wa getsuyoubi desu) - Mathematics is on Monday.

Common Pitfall

Avoid mixing up the subject and the day in your sentences. Stick to the format to maintain clarity.

Step 3: Creating a Weekly Schedule

Now that you can state subjects and days, create a sample weekly schedule. Follow these steps:

1. List all the subjects you have.
2. Assign each subject to a day of the week.
3. Practice stating your schedule in Japanese.

Example Schedule

• 月曜日 (げつようび, getsuyoubi) - Mathematics
• 火曜日 (かようび, kayoubi) - Science
• 水曜日 (すいようび, suiyoubi) - English
• 木曜日 (もくようび, mokuyoubi) - Japanese
• 金曜日 (きんようび, kinyoubi) - History
• 土曜日 (どようび, doyoubi) - Art

Step 4: Using the Vocabulary in Context

To solidify your understanding, try to use the vocabulary in real-life contexts. Here are some suggestions:

• Share your schedule with a friend in Japanese.
• Write a short paragraph about your favorite subject and when you study it.
• Engage in conversations with peers or language partners using the terms you learned.

Practical Tip

Incorporate these phrases into your daily routine, such as discussing your school day or planning study sessions.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you will be able to effectively communicate your school subjects and schedules in Japanese. Practice regularly and immerse yourself in the language to enhance your learning experience. As a next step, consider exploring more advanced vocabulary and phrases related to your classes or school activities. Happy learning!
