When you're talking with your close friends, you'd probably say 何をするの？　instead of 何をしますか　for "What are you going to do?" かいものに行くの？ instead of かいものに行きますか。for "Are you going shopping?" I hope this helps.:wink: jack -san

On the fifth page on the No. 1 practice line, the romaji reads 'omimasu' when it should be 'nomimasu'. Sorry if I sound picky here, but I spent 5 minutes trying to find out what 'omimasu' means!
