Mina-san, what do you like for breakfast? Or are you like Fabrizio?

Next week, we are reveiwing verb conjugation of class 1 verbs.
The week after next, verb conjugation of class 3 verbs.

I agree with Rebekah about English, the conjugation rules are much more complicated, and there are so many exceptions that they aren’t much help anyway. I don’t envy people learning it as a second language

朝ご飯はコーヒーだけ飲みます。作って食べるより、あと10、15分ぐらい眠る方がいいと思いますよね。だからといって、朝ご飯としてシリアルやフルーツなどが好きじゃないわけじゃありません。ただ、朝に弱いんです

Ah, the picture today really made me hungry

この写真は、ホテルの朝食のようですね！
私の朝ごはんは、トーストと、前の日の晩ご飯の残り物です。
This picture looks like a hotel-style breakfast!
My breakfast is usually toast and something like miso-soup left over from the dinner for the previous night.

Naomi先生、

はい、そうです！
Actually, it’s “pain au chocolat”, which translate directly to “chocolate bread”, but it’s closer to croissant. Though it’s shaped differently, it’s croissant dough with one or two chocolate bars put in it before it’s cooked. It’s a much beloved bakery treat !

I searched my dictionaries yesterday, and found both チョコレートパンand チョコクロ as the translation. And actually the チョコクロ they sell in one of the coffee chain shops in Japan (I think it’s St Marc) are the closest thing to real “pain au chocolat”…

“Pain au chocolat” is not to be confused with “pain avec du chocolat” (regular bread with chocolate bars added to it as a home-made mid-afternoon snack) and “croissant au chocolat” (croissant topped with melted chocolate and sometimes filled with chocolate cream too).

お腹が空いてなっちゃった！でも今朝ご飯の時間ですから、大丈夫ですよ！いただきます！

Just testing to see if my avatar comes out.
