Today's learning is "To clear the table"

Clearing the table and doing the dishes

Learn vocabulary in Japanese.

It is hard to master the complete vocabulary of any language.
Modern Japanese is written with a mixture of hiragana and katakana, plus kanji.
And, the subject is often omitted for a Japanese verb.
It is that Japanese people often omits objects such as "Who", "What", and "Where".
It might be peculiar Japanese vagueness.

Your learning Japanese little by little even if your Japanese as of now is insufficient improves your Japanese.
(Though my English doesn't progress easily. )

The only way to learn a language properly is by osmosis.
And, please always familiarize to Japanese.

The problem is that Japanese is so different from English.
(Though I who is Japanese suffer from English)

Because there's so little common vocabulary, it's very hard to have even a simple conversation which you can build on until you have learned quite a few words.

If you know what the words are, the grammar can be guessed as well.

So, cramming vocabulary might be very important.

Japanese (ジュースを)注ぐ
