Lesson 5 - Shopping

Hi everyone,

Are you ready to shop in English?  

Your MKD tutor is gonna go shopping with you.  

  "Shop 'til you drop!"๐Ÿ›
(ๆญปใฌใพใงใ‚ทใƒงใƒƒใƒ”ใƒณใ‚ฐใ—ใ‚ˆ!)








First, because you are Keizaigakubu students,
we think you should know about the Philippine currency.  
                                                               (ใƒ•ใ‚ฃใƒชใƒ”ใƒณใฎ้€š่ฒจ  firipin no tsลซka)



The Philippine currency is called the Philippine peso (or piso, or PHP).  


And the PHP looks like this ๐Ÿ‘‡


















What's the JPY/PHP exchange rate?

                                              (็‚บๆ›ฟใƒฌใƒผใƒˆ kawase rฤ“to)





How much is a Big Mac in Tokyo?   
                                             How much is a Big Mac in Davao?  


 



In Davao, a Big Mac is 148.00 PHP or 319.38 JPY
In Tokyo, a  Big Mac is 390.00 JPY or 180.73 PHP

Check out the Big Mac Index; click ๐Ÿ‘‰ here




Now, let's do the shopping lesson!

Lesson 4 - Numbers


Hi everyone,

I am sorry for posting this so late.  I had some technical problems :-(

Mike

Anyway... this blog post is for today's lesson.

For today's lesson click here ๐Ÿ‘‰ Lesson 4 - Numbers


In English, we have two kinds of nouns: countable nouns (ๅฏ็ฎ—ๅ่ฉž; kasan meshi) and uncountable nouns (ไธๅฏ็ฎ—ๅ่ฉž; fukasan meshi).

In Japanese, nouns (ๅ่ฉž meshi) don't really change in grammar.  But in English, nouns can be tricky.  Today, with your MKD tutor, you are going to study the differences between countable nouns and uncountable nouns.  Have fun, and ask many questions to your friendly tutors!


This is an useful chart showing the common mistakes with countable/uncountable nouns.  You can study it with your tutors if you want.  Or you can ask your teacher, too ;-)
