The fruits of my first Japanese lesson last night. We didn't actually do the writing while I was there - I looked that up at home so I am not sure if it's quite correct, but we did say it all verbally, over and over and over again. It was much harder to remember what to say than I thought it would be - although I did find it easier than one poor young lad who even found it difficult to repeat the words back to her when she said them one at a time. But it should certainly be an interesting course. And, to Adam and Chisa, hajime mashite!
