The picture above was drawn/colored by me, Maria Vaza-Kaczynski Sense we skipped spring this year in Ohio, lol^^

こんいちは！Today in class I've learned lots and had gotten きゅうじゅうはち％ on my quiz! 98% ヤった！！Also we've been learning numbers as well as how to tell time. Sense Japanese have like a million different counting systems it is good of Yuki sensai to be teaching us the basics. We are still reviewing our Hiragana as well as now writing and reading in said hiragana! It's amazing! Only 6 days of class and I can already semi read a Japanese sentence! For me that is amazing at least, for I have always been bad at grammer in English. Along with teaching us to write and read along with speaking Hiragana, our sensai had us correct errors in Hiragana as well. Teaching us simple sentence structure as well as making us use our brains to actually retain the information and not just memorize what it looks like. I find this to be a very smart move as it has helped a lot! While listening to my Gekai CD I understand more words than before, as well as reconize Senmon(せんもん）which means major in Japanese. Another useful thing we've learned is how to say that something is wrong. For example, if I asked if my cat is a dog, （ねこ）いぬはですか？To correct me for my mistake the person I would ask would say, いいえ、いぬはじゃありません、ねこです。We've also learned about writing jobs and our families discriptions in Hiragana.
