   SUMIMASEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sooooo sorry guys!! T_T I haven't actually been home long enough in the past three or four days to get on. I'm really sorry!!
Of course, that means I have a lot to update you guys on!! And a new Japanese lesson for you, too! hehehe...
Well, the concert on Friday was ok, but I messed up a lot. Thankfully, it was only for a bunch of really old people who probably couldn't hear me anyway. :) The rest of these past few days has been spent going to practices, bball games, church, and Christmas parties. Blah, I made me kinda mad to not get on for so long... Oh, and I'll have to tell you abou the world's craziest basketball game that HeartofSword and I went to yesterday... but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. ^_^ I don't want to bore you.
Q1: Do have any Christmas traditions?
Q2: What is the top thing on your Christmas list?
AQ1: Well, not really serious ones, but we do go to Christmas Eve service at church every year, and we open one present on Christmas Eve. Oh, and when mom wakes us up at 5:30 :P on Christmas morning, we read the passage on Christ's birth before opening gifts. Kinda lame, traditions, but we do them anyway. ^_^
AQ2: Well, it's between DDR for Xbox and the stuffed Kyo cat I saw at Suncoast... I WANT THAT CAT SOOOOOO BAD!!! T_T
Ja ne!

*Japanese with kataryu-sensei*
A,I,U,E,O
Alright, starting this week, we're getting serious!! ^_^ From now on, you will get a list of sounds with their katakana and hirogama to memorize, as well as some vocab words that corrispond with the things that you learn that day.
Today, we're doing the vowals (can't spell English). I guess I should quickly go over how to pernounce double vowals and conconents. If you see a vowal with a line over it or if you see two vowals in a row, it's a double vowal. Hold out the vowal a second longer than usual. If you see two conconents in a row, pernounce them both seprately. Homework: find something writting in Japanese (can be a manga, manga scan, anything, really) and look for hirogama that you know. Say the sound out load when you see it. Alright, here's your worksheet!
