Woah

Holy cow...I just got out of a four hour Japanese session and it was intense. My brain is about ready to explode. We talked about how to speak politely to our superiors, discuss the representative landmarks of our respective countries, and how to order from a beer garden (beeyah gahden in Japanese.) The good news is that I could understand the teacher who spoke almost entirely in Japanese. The bad news is that I've forgotten how to say everything. I have a whole page of new vocabulary and they gave us a book of different grammatical structures that we'll be using. Stuff like 'can I do blah blah blah' or 'let's go have dinner' or my personal favorite 'Hey, let's get drunk.'

Wierd Japanese thing of the day:

The very polite way to ask your boss for a favor literally means 'would you please do me the favor of making me do x.'
