Japanese 111

Update on my Japanese class. I took my midterm thursday night and have to say I think I did kind of well. On the first quiz one week into the class, I wasn't ready for what was going to be on it. I studied one part and got quized on another. So to say the least I pretty much bombed it. The second quiz was much better. Now with this good grade on the midterm, which combined with the final makes up 70% of the grade I will get in the class, I'm back on track to getting an A/B. Some differences in Japanese is that the subject/verb sequence is reversed from English. If you are familiar with how Yoda from Star Wars speaks, you can get the idea. Also, almost all types of subjects have different ways of counting them, so the word for "three" would be different if you are counting pieces of paper compared to counting bottles. Alot of memorizing. However, it's going well and it's coming in handy when talking to the people around the base.
