Lesson Transcript
| **Opening** |
| Jessi:Hi everyone, welcome to Lesson 12 of the New JLPT N3 Prep Course. I'm Jessi and I'm here in the studio joined by... |
| Naomi:ใใใซใกใฏใใฟใชใใใ็ด็พใงใใHi everyone, Naomi here. |
| ๅๅใฏ่ด่งฃใฎๅ้ก๏ผใๅๅผทใใพใใใญใ |
| Jessi: In the last lesson, we covered Question 3 of the Listening Comprehension section. |
| Naomi:ใใฎใฌใในใณใงใฏใ่ด่งฃใฎๅ้ก4ใ็ทด็ฟใใพใใใใ |
| Jessi:And in this Lesson, we'll cover Question 4 of the Listening Comprehension section. |
| **Instructions** |
| Jessi: First, let's look at the instructions. Naomi-sensei, ใ้กใใใพใใ |
| Naomi: Sure. ๅ้ก๏ผใงใฏ็ตตใ่ฆใชใใ่ณชๅใ่ใใฆใใ ใใใใใใใๆญฃใใ็ญใใ๏ผใใ๏ผใฎไธญใใไธใค้ธใใงใใ ใใใ |
| Jessi: Look at the picture and listen to the question. Choose the best answer from 1 to 3. So, in this question, they give you a picture to look at. |
| Naomi: Right, so you can visualize the situation. |
| Jessi: This is nice because it means that even if you missed what the question was asking, you can still see the situation in the picture and make a guess at the answer. |
| Naomi: Right, ็ตตใฏๅคงใใชใใณใใงใใญใThe picture can be a pretty big hint. |
| Jessi: Okay, so the question is... how to prepare for this section. Naomi-sensei, ไฝใใใใขใใใคในใใใพใใ๏ผ |
| Naomi: Well, often times in this question, you will encounter situations where certain set expressions are used. My advice is to thoroughly review those different set expressions. |
| Jessi: For example, in Lesson #9, we covered ๏ฝใฆใใ ใใใพใใ and ๏ฝใฆใใใ ใใพใใ meaning "could you?", which used when asking someone to do something for you. So these would be good to review, right? |
| Naomi: Definitely. In addition, phrases used when asking for permission are also useful to know. For example, ใฆใใใใงใใ or ใฆใใใใใใงใใ, which mean "May I"? |
| Jessi: For example... ่ณชๅใใใฆใใใใงใใ๏ผ"Can I ask you a question?" or ่ณชๅใใใฆใใใใใใงใใ "May I ask you a question?" |
| Naomi: Exactly. ใใใใใงใใ is more polite than ใใใงใใใ |
| But, if you replace ใงใ with ใงใใใ and say ่ณชๅใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใใ, that sounds even MORE formal. |
| Jessi: Yes, it's very very polite. The nuance would be something like "Would it be all right if I asked you a question?" |
| Naomi:ใใใ็ฅใฃใฆใใใฐใๆฌกใฎๅ้กใฏ็ฐกๅใชใฏใใงใใ |
| Jessi: Okay! Now, with that information fresh in our minds... let's move onto the practice questions! We will do practice questions one and two. They're short, so we'll do them both together. |
| Naomi:ไบใคใฎๅ้กใ็ถใใฆ่ใใฆใใ ใใใ |

| ๏ผ็ช:ๅ ็ใซใใคใใใใใใงใใใชใใจใใใพใใใ |
| 1. ใใคใใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใ |
| 2. ใใคใใใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ |
| 3. ใใคใใใชใใฃใฆใใ ใใใ |
| โก |
| ๏ผ็ช:ใใใใใใใใงใใใชใใจใใใพใใใ |
| 1. ใใใใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใใใ |
| 2. ใใใใใใฆใใ ใใใพใใใใ |
| 3. ใใใใใใฆใใ ใใใพใใใใ |
| ่งฃ่ชฌโ |
| Jessi: Can we hear the situation again? |
| Naomi: ๅ ็ใซใใคใใใใใใงใใใชใใจใใใพใใใ |
| Jessi: You want to ask the teacher a question. What do you say? Hey... this topic sounds pretty familiar.. asking for permission... |
| Naomi: Yes, it's what we just talked about before this question! |
| Jessi: So hopefully, you should know the answer to this one! Let's review the choices one more time really quickly. |
| Naomi: 1. ใใคใใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใ 2. ใใคใใใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ3. ใใคใใใชใใฃใฆใใ ใใใ |
| Jessi: And the correct answer is... |
| Naomi: 1. ใใคใใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใ |
| Jessi: "May I ask a question?" |
| Let's look at the other two choices. |
| Naomi: 2. ใใคใใใใฆใใใ ใใพใใใ |
| Jessi: ๏ฝใฆใใใ ใใพใใ was covered in Lesson 9, and it's used when asking someone to do something for you in a really polite way. |
| Naomi: Right, so it would mean something like "Could you ask a question for me?" So this is incorrect. |
| Jessi: And the third one? |
| Naomi: 3. ใใคใใใชใใฃใฆใใ ใใใ |
| Jessi: ใชใใ is the honorific form of ใใ, to do... so this basically has the same meaning as ใใคใใใใฆใใ ใใ. |
| Okay, on to the second question. |
| ่งฃ่ชฌโก |
| Jessi: Can we hear the situation again? |
| Naomi: ใใใใใใใใงใใใชใใจใใใพใใใ |
| Jessi: You want to borrow an umbrella. What do you say? |
| Ohh.. they're trying to trick you here with the words for borrow and lend, aren't they... |
| Naomi: Yes, I'm afraid so! ่ฒธใ, to lend, and ๅใใ, to borrow, are similar so they are known for being confusing. |
| Jessi: Let's review the answer choices. |
| Naomi: ใใใใใใฆใใใใใใงใใใใใ |
| Jessi: ๅใ่ฒธใ is to lend an umbrella... so really, what you're asking here is "May I lend you an umbrella?" It's a bit strange sounding. |
| Naomi: Right. The second one is ใใใใใใฆใใ ใใใพใใใใ |
| Jessi: ่ฒธใใฆใใ ใใใพใใใ๏ผ Remember that ๏ฝใฆใใ ใใใพใใใ is used when requesting that someone do something. So it means... Could you please lend me an umbrella? |
| Naomi: Yes, so that means this is the correct answer. |
| Jessi: Let's look at the last one just for fun. |
| Naomi: ใใใใใใฆใใ ใใใพใใใใ |
| Jessi: ๅใๅใใ... well, like we said before, ๅใใ means to borrow. So this doesn't really make sense as an answer, does it? |
| Naomi: Right, it would be like saying "would you please borrow an umbrella". |
| Jessi: The situation said that you are the one who wants to borrow an umbrella, so this is incorrect. |
| Naomi: ใฟใชใใใๅใใใพใใใ๏ผDid you get the right answer? |
| Jessi: Naomi-sensei, do you have any other tips for this section? |
| Naomi: Well, like we said before, set phrases are very important for this part! Japanese has tons of them, so you want to make sure you've studied them well. |
| Jessi: Good point, and also the honorific and humble expressions show up a lot starting with level N3. |
| Naomi: Right such as ใชใใใใใใ ใใใฃใใใ ใใใ and so on. Please check out the Lesson Notes for more on those! |
| Jessi: Okay, thatโs all the time we have for this lesson! |
| Naomi: Thanks for listening everyone! |
| Jessi: Until next time! |
| Naomi: ใใใพใ๏ผ |
