Routines is the thirteenth skill in the Japanese language course. It has four lessons and it teaches some words that help you express times you do things and places you go.

Grammar notes[]

  • に (ni) is used to indicate when something happens. When used with nouns, it means "at" what time, "on" which day and "in" what month or year something happens.
