New vocabulary course, and therefore new vocabulary words. Today we are going to discuss the lexicon of drinks. No worries, there won’t be anything very difficult. You will find some kanji that you already know, some from the first season.
Lots of vocabulary words are borrowed from English, which will make it easier for you. As long as you master your katakana, there will be no problem. You will find many of these vocabulary words in the example sentences and the exercises to come, as usual.
The list below is thirty words. Let’s get started without further ado.

A very nice little vocabulary list. Few new kanji, a lot of katakana, and if you’ve learned your previous lessons properly, you should have no trouble remembering all those new words. Moreover, some of these words were already present in previous grammar and vocabulary lessons, it will not hurt you to see them again.
You may have noticed that there are hardly any vocabulary words related to alcohol in this course. I’ll cover this topic in another vocabulary course much later.
I have nothing more to add. For the rest, diligently follow the same learning routine. Practice writing, practice speaking, and practice over and over again.
