Pasha-san, Kon'nichiwa! A you said, ganbarimasu is a polite form of ganbaru, so the meanings are the same. When Kiyoshi-san is talking with his friend, he can say "ganbaru." But this time, he is talking with his teacher so ganbarimasu is more appropriate:wink: Han-san, "kiku" is a plain form of a verb "to listen" and "kiite" is one of its conjugations. (We call this te-form because it ends with -te.) You can use kudasai with nouns and verbs, but onegai shimasu is often used with nouns. ex) O-mizu, kudasai. / O-mizu, onegai shimasu. "Water, please." kiite kudasai. / ×× Kiite onegai shimasu. "listen, please." NewbieSeason4#14 also covers Onegaishimasu v. kudasai. Zac-san,
