We are using the textbook "Adventures in Japanese," and in class we got up to this activity:
Begin a conversation with your partner with the comments below. Your partner agrees, then gives his/her opinion starting with でも and using the ~ば~ほど pattern.
Example as written:
質問: 数学って、むずかしいね。
答え:ええ。でも、勉強すればするほど、分かるようになるよ。1.質問:漢字って、むずかしいね。
We spent like 15-20 minutes in class trying to figure out an answer that works: our sensei says there is something wrong no matter how many times we try to answer that we aren't realizing.
How I tried to answer:
ええ。でも、勉強すればするほど新聞が読めるようになるよ。
other questions:
日本語って、むずかしいね。
お茶って、苦いね。
茶道って、つまらないね。
Any insight? Thank you.
