ｸﾘｽﾀです。

I am currently in Japanese 301 and will be using my journal blog to help me practice my vocab and grammar. (Being in JPNS 301 does NOT make me an expert on the language, trust me when I say, I am the slowest person in class and when I study abroad next semester I will be clinging to my electronic dictionary the entire time) While I blog about what I'm currently learning I am also going to go back into my old textbooks and do reviews.

If you are going to follow along I suggest that you learn Hiragana and Katakana. I will review sentence structures and conjugations from time to time, to remind myself.
