Explanation

The Japanese verbal noun '予習 (よしゅう)' refers to the act of preparing or studying something in advance, particularly in an academic context. It is commonly used to describe the preparation done before a class or lesson, such as reading ahead or reviewing materials. For example: I did preparation for tomorrow's class「明日の授業の予習をしました」(あしたのじゅぎょうのよしゅうをしました). Preparation is important for understanding the lesson「予習は授業を理解するために大切です」(よしゅうはじゅぎょうをりかいするためにたいせつです). This term is often paired with '復習 (ふくしゅう)', which means 'review' or 'revision', to emphasize the cycle of preparation and review in learning.
