Did you know?
The vocabulary used in classrooms is very different! For example…
平行な直線は、ほかの直線と等しい角度で交わります。（小5算数）
“Parallel lines cross other lines at the same angle. “ (Elementary Grade 5 Math).
消化とは、口から入れた食べ物を変化させて、からだに吸収しやすい養分にすることです。（6年理科）
“Digestion refers to the process by which food that is ingested is broken down into nutrients can be easily absorbed by the body.” (Grade 6 Science).
The vocabulary used in classrooms is completely different from that in everyday life.
Even if you have learned to converse in Japanese, it does not mean that you can understand the lessons.
Understanding Japanese language used on tests will definitely help you raise your grades!
