Goal: learn 12 words and phrases for sending parcels and handling money.

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:

おくる (send) and とどく (arrive) are the two sides of a delivery: にもつをおくります → にもつがとどきます.
