If you replaced, 市に with まち（街）を, your sentence would sound even better.:wink: It's true that 市 means "city", but when you're talking about "city" or "town" in general, 街(machi) is more natural.:razz: And when you say "to leave [ place ]", the place should be marked by particle を. Since に　marks the destination. I hope this makes sense. Dario-san すごいですね！！おめでとうございます。 Wow!! Congratulations!!! We're so happy for you!! For JLPTN4, we would recommend that you study Beginner season4, 5, 6　and Lower Intermediate season 6. :wink: And of course our JLPTN4 course.:wink: 頑張ってください　Good luck on your studying. Archernar -san

I passed JLPT Level 5 in July with a great mark, and I must say it's mostly thanks to these lessons! I'd like to move on to JLPT Level 4 now, so can you please advise on which Lesson Series could help me cover the vocabulary + grammar required? I know the lessons are not specifically targeted for JLPT, but I was just looking for a place to start!:mrgreen: Yonde kurete arigatou gozaimasu! Ja ne, Dario Hello,

The phrase people say when they carry a portable shrine is "Wasshoi wasshoi." It's similar to "yoisho", but Wasshoi is called out by a group of people when they need strength or keep rhythm. Have you ever been to any Japanese festival? ウィル、アントニオ -san ありがとうございます。Thank you for the kind comment!! Caio Izaú-san ナッツとスナックを買いました。オフィスに持ってきました。 I brought nuts and snacks from Thailand. Not sure Peter ate them though...:wink: Julie-san
