This course follows on from the course titled "The Institutions" and will focus on sports institutions. As a reminder, the word 施設 . シセツ means "the institution(s)" whether it is a public or private service. So, the word スポーツ施設 . スポーツシセツ means "the sports institution(s)".

Conclusion

I have no particular comment to make for this vocabulary course except I urge you to learn all these words. I know that most of you are tempted to learn only katakanized English words, leaving out typical Japanese words for ease. And that’s a very bad idea ! Learn all the words I give you properly. Even when a Japanese word has a synonym from a katakanized English word, learn all the words, even the kanji ones. Its very important !
That’s all. This vocabulary course is now over. Thank you for reading it to the end. As usual, keep working well, practice writing and speaking and you will keep making progress. Have a good day everyone and do your homework properly.
