Yuki has a Saturday trip in mind. Listen for the difference between what she intends to do and what the two friends agree to do together.
Take this lesson one step at a time. Try each quick check before revealing its answer, then take the quiz. Add vocabulary and grammar to your reviews to practise them over time.
On Thursday, Ken and Yuki are talking about the weekend.
Tap a line to hear it. Shadow mode leaves a gap after each line — repeat it aloud, then hear it again. Don’t worry about being perfect; worry about being out loud.
They’ll take the train. Yuki suggests meeting at the station at nine in the morning: 朝九時に駅で会おう。
V-dictionary / V-ない + つもりだ
Use the dictionary form to say what you intend to do. 行くつもりです means "I plan to go". Use the negative form for a plan not to do something. 行かないつもりです means "I plan not to go". In casual conversation you can end the sentence at つもり. This use describes someone's intention, so it does not fit a weather forecast.
More examples: 〜つもりだ五段: change the final kana to its お-row counterpart and add う · 一段: drop る and add よう · する → しよう · 来る → 来よう(こよう)
With a friend, 行こう can mean "let's go". The same form can express the speaker's own decision, as in そろそろ帰ろう ("I'll head home soon" when said to yourself). Add と思っています to talk about an intention you have been considering. 留学しようと思っています means "I'm thinking of studying abroad".
More examples: 〜よう / 〜おう(意向形)intend to

The sun in a window frame — one day.
