Akane: Oh that’s right, your dictionary! Have you used⁵ it yet?

Ruth: Erm I’ve used it a couple of times but maybe not as much as I should have.

Akane: Well hopefully it will help you to study Japanese.

Ruth: Oh I’m hoping so.

Akane: It was quite a big dictionary.

Ruth: Yeah, yeah it was expensive so…

Akane: How much was it again?

Akane: It is for me too.

Ruth: Really?

Akane: But books are important.

Ruth: Absolutely⁶. Don’t you think we should go back to Oita sometime⁷?

Akane: Definitely. When do you want to go next?
