lein's notebook entry: May 13, 2011 "ageru/morau/kureru" This was the first time I taught japanese to foreigners 3days ago. I asked a few friends of mine to get my lesson to improve my teaching japanese. We had a topic in the lesson which was "ageru/morau/kureru" . Those words are really troublesome though they are simillar to [give/get] because those directions of things you give (or get) are terrible for even japanese to expain. Oh,please don't misunderstand it. We,japanese,can use those words easily but feel rather complicated to explain how they work. I made spacial teaching materials beforehand to help the learners to understand and use the words ,and I tried it in the lesson. The kit were really effective! I hope they don't forget the hang of it.
