行きます｜つもり｜ようと思う Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve made a post on this blog! I’ve been so busy with university and then as soon as my last exam was over I traveled back home to see my family! I finally have some time to myself so I thought I’d make a new post! This is all about how to say doing something in Japanese. This post won’t go into too much depth regarding these sentence patterns, so feel free to look them up for more information on how to use them! 行きます・Going to do: To say, “I’m going to__” in Japanese, you can follow this sentence pattern. Sentence pattern = subject+を+verb stem (ます form without the ます) +に＋行きます・行く。 e.g. 何をしますか？        What are you doing?        映画を見に行きます。        Going to see a movie. つもり・Plan to do: But what about how to say you intend on doing something, or you plan on doing something? In that case, you can use つもり! Sentence pattern = verb dictionary form+つもり+です・だ。

e.g. 明日は何をしますか？        What will you do tomorrow?        カラオケに行くつもりです。        I intend to go to karaoke. ようと思う・Think I’ll do: To say that you’re thinking of doing something, you can follow this sentence pattern: Sentence pattern = verb volitional form+ようと思う e.g. で今晩こそ早く寝ようと思う。         I think I’ll go to sleep early tonight.

Mini Japanese Grammar Lesson: Particle に (ni) to mark the location where something exist

One of the many usage of particle に! Do you remember the other usage reviewed on our previous lessons? So far, we’ve learned the usage of particle に to :

- Mark the target of an action - Mark the point of time where something take places - Mark the purpose when someone going somewhere - Mark the place toward which someone/something moves and - Mark the location where something/someone exist

Make sure you reviewed the lessons so you can get a good grasp on all the purpose of particle に!

Happy learning °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

lifehack: whenever someone asks me to say something in a language I'm learning, I literally just translate the phrase "I don't know what you want me to say so I hope this is enough"

This is maybe the most frustrating aspect of studying kanji. You start learning 山 as やま. Cool, one kanji memorized. Wait… it can also be read as さん.

Wait. All your other kanji have 2 or 4 extra readings too! Some are on'yomi. Some are kun'yomi.

Why does this have to be so complicated?!

It may seem confusing at first, but if you learn the difference between on'yomi/kun'yomi readings, where they came from, and how they work, we promise it will make learning kanji a lot easier.

Listen to this kanji-tastic episode where Kristen explains all this and more. When you’re breezing through kanji like a pro, you’ll be glad you did.
