Japanese

Japanese was enjoyable last night. It was starting out at a pretty basic level, I knew most of the stuff we did, but there was lots of speaking practice and it was good to hear the pronunciations of some words. We did introductions, countries, jobs, where you live, numbers 1-100 and the first 5 japanese symbols we need to learn. By the end all the writing should be in Japanese which will be nice. The group seemed OK. 1 Italian, 1 Greek, 1 English, 1 American, 1 French and 2 Polish. I don’t think I’m going to be great friends with any of them but I don’t think I’ll hate any of them, which is probably the best I could hope for. The teacher is good. An older Japanese lady but suitably excitable and giggly about stuff. My favourite words I learnt last night were sarariman for male office worker and I am a rikuruto kansarutanto.
