Group Lesson with Natsumi Sensei: June 29, 2024 (Patreon)

Hello Patrons,

Our next monthly one-hour mini-lesson with Natsumi Sensei will be held Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 9:00 AM Japan time. You can find your local time using this link. As before, these group lessons are a special free offering for our patrons in the "Japanese Phonetics" tier. We will post the Zoom link about 24 hours in advance of the lesson.

The topic for this month's lesson will be "Verb Conjugation Practice". Natsumi Sensei will base this lesson on the following Japanese Phonetics episodes, so please be sure to review these in advance:

• 19. Pitch-accent patterns for non 平板 conjugations of 平板 verbs 

• 20. Pitch-accent patterns for 頭高 verbs 

• 22. Pitch-accent patterns for 中高 verbs 

We encourage you to submit questions for this lesson in the comments section below. These questions will be prioritized during the lesson. If time permits, she will take additional questions from participants during the lesson. Questions can include:

• What you want to practice (for example: specific words, sentences, grammar items, etc.)

• Specific questions about pronunciation and accent

A quick note on recording: The lessons will be conducted on Zoom and will be recorded. Participants may be asked to share their video during the lesson to allow Natsumi Sensei to better assess and assist individuals. After the lesson, we intend to post a recording of the lesson on Patreon for patrons in the "Japanese Phonetics" tier. While we will edit the video to focus on Natsumi Sensei, there is a possibility participants may appear in the posted recording. By participating in the lesson, you consent to appearing in the video. If you have any questions about this, please contact us by DM.

Best of luck in your studies!

All the best from Beppu,

Dōgen
