Japanese Lesson 53: Families part 3
Final part of the Family bubble. This one was pretty short!
VOCABULARY
Grandmother： Obaasan: おばあさん
Family： Kazoku: かぞく： 家族
Grandfather： Ojiisan: おじいさん
Parents： Oya: おや： 親 (can be just one, or both parents)
Parents: Ryoushin: りょうしん： 両親 (Emphasis on both parents)
Name： Namae: なまえ： 名前
SENTENCES
My dad eats fish
Watashi no chichi wa sakana o tabemasu.
わたし の ちち は さかな を たべます
私の父は魚を食べます。
What is your daughter's name？
Anata no musume no namae wa nan desu ka?
あなた の むすめ の なまえ は なん です か。
あなたの娘の名前は何ですか。
My parents like the beer.
Watashi no oya wa sono bi-ru ga suki desu.
わたし の おや は その ビール が すき です。
私の親はそのビールが好きです。
(lit: "my parents like that beer")
Not really a whole lot of sentences in this one... It's more of a focus on vocabulary than grammar at this point and going forward a little bit.
.> The other example sentence listed was "It is Saturday" and that really has nothing to do with anything in this lesson.
So I guess that's it for this part!
Next time we'll be covering OCCUPATIONS!! (which I have a really hard time with for some reason....)
So until then!

You're doing a great job. I'm not using any of these as I'm trying to learn Hiragana right now, but someday I'll return here!
Parents： Oya: おや： 親
I know parents as ryōshin 両親, what's the difference?
The word 両 means "both", so 両親 means both mother and father. 親 means mother or father or both. When you want to emphasize "both", 両親 is more preferable.
