IN07 · Meetings
Goal: learn 10 words and phrases for organizing meetings and notices.
Before you start
This level assumes the elementary level and elementary grammar. From here on, words are in kanji with their reading above; in the reading round you'll see the kanji alone.
This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:
What you learn
えんき (postponement) and ちゅうし (calling off) are not the same: what is postponed happens later; what is called off does not.
Words
You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.

Practice
Two rounds: first you read each word and type its romaji, then you pick what it means. No romaji on screen.
Reading in context
A short text with words and grammar you already know; kanji carry their reading above. Read it and answer.
An email to the team:
あしたの 会議は 中止です。

What happens to tomorrow's meeting?
Translation
Tomorrow's meeting is called off.
