Introduction
Hajimemashite 1: Two Japanese women (both graduate students in their 20s) meet each other for the first time. This was a planned meeting. They talk about basic background information (names; what grade they are in). They continue to talk about what languages they are studying and what kinds of food they like to eat, etc. In this lesson, the main focus is on the first minute of the dialogue for first-year students.
