Before you start

This level assumes the beginner level and basic grammar. Words you already met are marked and do not count as new.

This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:

• E01saying how you feel
• E02going to the doctor and appointments

What you learn

ひとり and ふたり are special forms for counting people; from three on you use 〜にん (さんにん). チェックイン and チェックアウト come from English.

You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.
