Hi, ojachan is here 🙂 Today’s lesson is:【第13課】 Lesson 13. Watashi wa Onigiri wo Kai ni Ikimasu
Don’t you want to know how to learn Japanese like Japanese kids? This lesson is meant for students that are beginners at Japanese.
⭐️This lesson is following the textbook “Minna no Nihongo”. (*not perfectly)
⭐️I’m going to give a lesson easier to understand for Japanese learners without following textbook’s orders.
Let’s learn how to use 2 verbs in a sentence. You can improve from beginner’s level to intermediate level of Japanese with this grammar.
Let’s get started!

1. わたしは Nを V に 行きます。
Here is how to say【I go (place) to V sth.】 in Japanese.
For example:
“I go to the convenience store.” + “I buy rice balls at the convenience store.” = “I go to the convenience store to buy rice balls.” |
I’m going to teach you how to combine 2 sentences to a 1 sentence.
