Word List / Discussion Questions

Students fill in the blanks from the word list, then listen to the online audio and write the answers they hear.

The audio tracks feature Japanese speakers of English as well as North American speakers. It is hoped that the Japanese speakers of English will provide good role models for the students.

Japanese translations of the Discussion Question can be found in the back of the book. Students can practice checking comprehension with each other.

1. Where do you live? どこに住んでいますか?
