Choose a process small enough to explain clearly
Tell Mocchi the simple fictional sequence you want to practise. Begin with a few familiar actions rather than a complex dish with specialist equipment and many ingredients.
Read the example once and identify what changes at each step. The first goal is understanding the process, not translating every word in isolation.
Learn the action as part of a short sentence
Use /vocab for an unfamiliar action and /kanji for its complete written form when needed. Connect the verb with an object and an action you can picture.
Save an example card if the verb needs later recall. After recalling it, say a sentence about the step. This makes the word useful for explaining a process.
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 野菜を洗います。 | Yasai o araimasu. | Wash the vegetables. |
| 小さく切ります。 | Chiisaku kirimasu. | Cut them into small pieces. |
Make the order visible in the language
Use a few sequence markers to show which action comes first and which follows. Ask Mocchi whether your explanation preserves the original order.
Try a short /quiz that rearranges the steps. Explain why a particular order matches the fictional description. Then write a brief version without looking at the model.
For example, give each step a simple number and ask which action happens immediately before mixing. Answer with the action rather than only a number. Then remove the numbered list and explain the same relation aloud. This checks whether the sequence is represented in your language, not only in the visual order of the text.
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| まず | Mazu | First |
| 次に | Tsugi ni | Next |
| 最後に | Saigo ni | Finally |
Explain and answer in AI Sensei
Prepare a suitable everyday or food conversation with /kaiwa. In AI Sensei, explain the sequence with short sentences. Let the listener ask about a step before you continue.
Answer the specific question. If asked what happens after cutting, return to that point rather than restarting the whole process automatically.
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 最後に、よく混ぜます。 | Saigo ni, yoku mazemasu. | Finally, mix well. |
Review the connection between actions
Identify whether you forgot a verb, confused the order or misunderstood the question. Bring that example to Mocchi. If the verbs are secure, another list of action words may not address the difficulty.
Practise a changed short sequence after the explanation. Keep the number of steps manageable while using different details.
Transfer the skill beyond food
Explain a simple craft or morning routine next time. The vocabulary changes, but the need to connect actions and respond to a question remains.
Mocchi helps organize and explain the task, a quiz checks the sequence, and AI Sensei turns the explanation into a conversation. The next review can then focus on the precise step that needs practice.
