Homework

So I've finally begun Japanese classes which naturally entails homework. Copying my vocabulary from the book helps me get a handle on the words as well as work on my reading and writing. Learning a new language is very interesting because it draws on some long gone memories. I can suddenly remember stuff that I haven't thought about in over 20 years. Sounding out words one letter at a time. Checking and rechecking to see how a letter is drawn. Not how a word is spelled mind you, but the letters themselves.

It's all very frustrating and entirely worthwhile. I can't say that I'm enjoying it yet, but I am glad to finally be underway.
