Nao-chan
- Nao-chan has a border of 500 points to distinguish between higher and lower level learners.
- Most students regardless of level could not answer questions 1 and 7 correctly. He concludes that those sentences are difficult for Japanese learners.
- 誰があなたにフランス語を教えていますか。
- どちらのバスがその図書館に行きますか。
