VOCABULARY NOTES
1. Te and ashi
手
足
In Japanese, as in many other languages, a single word (te) can refer to both the hands and arms
and another (ashi) to both the legs and feet. The context will generally clarify which body part is
being talked about.
2. Karate
空手
The word karate, which refers to a form of Japanese martial arts, is composed of the words kara
(empty) and te (hand). A person who is skilled in karate can stop an attacker by using only his
bare (empty) hands, elbows, knees, and feet as weapons.

Mimi desu-ka?
Play this guessing game with a クラスメート. Partner A, without showing Partner B, writes on
this page the name of one of the six body parts listed in the 単語section of this lesson. Partner B
then asks the question “_____ desu-ka?” to determine the selected part. Each question is worth
one point. Then change roles and repeat. The player with the lower score is the winner of the
round. As you play additional rounds, try to avoid looking at the vocabulary list. Read this
sample exchange aloud before you begin.
SCORE BOX
A: (writes down kuchi)
B: Mimi desu-ka?

A: Iie, chigaimasu.

Hana desu.
Play this familiar game with a クラスメート. The object is to fool your partner into doing and
saying what you are doing and saying even though your words do not match your actions. Use
only those body parts listed in the box. The game must be played very quickly. After about
every five or six statements, change roles and continue. Do not worry about keeping score. Just
enjoy the game. Study this sample exchange before you begin.
A: Hana desu. [A is pointing to his own nose.]
B: Hana desu. [B quickly repeats while pointing to her own nose.]
A: Kuchi desu. [A is pointing to his own mouth.]
B: Kuchi desu. [B quickly repeats while pointing to her own mouth.]
A: Ashi desu. [A is pointing to his own arm which is not correct.]
B:
[B says and does nothing because A’s words and actions do not match.]
A: Mimi desu. [A is pointing to his own eye which is not correct.]
B: Mimi desu. [B quickly repeats while pointing to her own eye. B has been fooled!]

Kao-o kakimashoo! (Let’s draw* a face!)
In this activity Partner A begins by drawing (without Partner B seeing) a face with ears, eyes,
nose, and/or mouth on the next page (#1). It is the face of an alien so the features may be a bit
unusual in terms of both number and location. For example, there may be one eye, two noses,
one ear, and no mouth. Partner A must explain to Partner B in 日本語 (of course!) how to draw
the same face. Partner B may ask as many questions in 日本語 as needed to complete the task.
Partner A needs to watch Partner B closely as Partner B draws but may not point to Partner B’s
drawing at any time. When you have finished, compare the two drawings. Do the two faces
have the same number of features, and are the features in approximately the same location?
Change roles and repeat.
Draw the faces on the next page Î
*In Japanese kakimashoo can mean let’s write or let’s draw. The kanji are different.
