THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

いいです(pronounced ‘iides’) which means ‘good!’ is the Japanese Word for Week 5 and 6 of Term 1.

You can simply use ‘いいです’ (‘iides’) instead of ‘good’ when you see or hear something good in the classroom and out in the yard. You can also say ‘きぶんいいです’ (‘kibun iides’) when you are feeling good. ‘kibun’ means feeling.

Thank you / ありがとうございます(pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.
