I'm at my N4 intermediate Japanese level, but it's really hard to study by myself. However, I decided to study Japanese again when I saw your channel. It's really easy to understand, and I also joined the membership! 🎉.

Hello Masa-Sensei, I hope you are doing well! 😊 My attempts: 1. 私の目標は日本語の会話ができるばかりでなく、日本人の友達をも作ります。 My goal is not only to be able to have conversations in Japanese, but also to make Japanese friends. 2. ごみを出さなければならない、お皿も洗います。 I must not only take out the trash, but also wash the dishes. (In this case I guess ばかりでなく isn't needed?)

[@MasaSensei]

1. 私の目標は日本語の会話ができるようになるばかりでなく、日本人の友達をも作ることです。 My goal is not only to be able to have conversations in Japanese, but also to make Japanese friends. become to be able is "Potential＋ようになる" and because this sentence's structure is "My goal is..." the last part needs to be a noun phrase. It becomes 作ることです 2. ごみを出さなければならないばかりでなく、お皿も洗わなければなりません。 I must not only take out the trash, but also wash the dishes. (In this case I guess ばかりでなく isn't needed?) you can simply put ばかりでなく you also have to chage the last part to なければなりません because it is "I must also wash the dishes"

[@ndjnld]

[@MasaSensei]

Sorry, which other same grammar constructions?

[@Lilymonica88]

Hello Masa Sensei, なAdjである + ばかりでなく～も, why we need to add dearu after NA-Adj?

[@MasaSensei]

Actually you can also drop "である" it is correct to say なAdj + ばかりでなく～も as well!

[@johnardy2207]

Not ONLY NEGATIVE context, but also positive context isn't it?

[@MasaSensei]

yes correct!

Why is　きれいな　 の　もちろん

[@MasaSensei]

「きれいなのはもちろん」ですね？ きれいな (kirei na): "beautiful" (adjective) の (no): turns the adjective into a noun phrase, referring to "the beautiful thing" or "the beauty." は (wa): marks the topic of the sentence. もちろん (mochiron): means "of course."
