Questions from my last lesson These are questions from my last lesson with @merooka. 1. 番六課 - Does this actually mean 6th Lesson, found it in Genki. - Answer:This is incorrect or strange. I have doubted Kanji of 番, I think it must be 第, not 番. - Me: oops ,wrong kanji! 2. This sentence, 私は、いつか長い文章を書くことができるようにしたいです。 ^ One day, I would like to be able to write longer sentences. Ahhh.... a bit strange for me, I will translate your sentence in Japanese into English like this. - One day, I would like to try to be able to write longer sentences. Hence, I prefer to say with original sentence in English you made in this way. - 私は、いつか長い文章を書くことができるようになりたいです。 「v.dict + ようにしたい」が正しいですか? - Therefore, 'v.dict + ようになりたい’ corresponds to 'would like to V' or ' want to V'. 〜ができるようにする ~ Be able to do? - 'Be able to do' is '~することができる'. 覚えることができるようにしたいです。- I will try to remember The sentence above should be interpreted in this way. 「わたしは覚えるようにします」 Questions How can I say, “First Birthday, 1st Birthday”..一歳? - そうです=)
