Minna no nihongo - ninjabin - 2014-05-20
Hi Guys,
I just got Minna no nihongo + the translation, however I don't understand what I'm supposed to do in Lesson 1's drills A - B (haven't checked C yet).
Could you help me please?

Normally the translation book has explanatory notes at the very beginning. Check it out.

Many thanks for your reply, I just found out what to do in drill B, I've already read the explanatory notes they were a bit helpful.
Anyway the drill A just seems to be like a reading thing in which I can see different options for the same sentence... Not sure tho..

My book says drill A is just a chart to help understand the grammatical pattern through substitutions. I doubt there is anything else to do besides read it, or use as a reference later. Maybe read it out loud, it's always good.

I see, Thanks again! What do you think of the book? Have you finished it? I've just started it, I've been using genki for a while but it was too "class based" with lots of group activities that I couldn't do!

Yeah I finished the 初級 books (50 lessons). Not a lot of group activites as you said, but it's still a class oriented approach, as in academic/traditional content, which can make it tedious. What makes MNN really good though is the top notch audio in the audio exercices and the solid workbooks (and the fact that they're all well integrated with each other). So my advice is to buy/download the audio and the workbooks because you won't regret it (compared to other things I tried like Assimil audio or the Mangaland workbooks).
