Symptoms: fever, coughs and how long
Colds, flu, hay fever and upset stomachs: this lesson gives you the words for them, and the three verbs they hang on (ある, and する). Then it covers the doctor's favourite question, いつからですか？ Tap to hear any line. The bar at the bottom plays a hands-free drill for walking.
G
25 symptom words
Each card shows a symptom, the phrase it goes in, and a sentence you'd say at home or at the clinic. Some reuse words from earlier lessons; the note says which.
M
Which verb goes with which symptom
Symptoms don't all use the same verb. A fever "is there" (ある), a cough "comes out" (), and feeling sick or cold is する.
