THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

できました　(pronounced ‘dekimashita’) which means ‘done or finished’ is the Japanese Word for Week 9 & 10 of Term 4. You can use ‘できました’ (‘dekimashita’) instead of ‘done/finished’ when you have completed a task or done something you are asked to do.

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