Japanese

Ronnie and I are learning Japanese together, starting with hiragana. We’re at 20 of the 46 now. The very first five, あ い う え お (a, i, u, e, o), put up a real fight: some days they stuck, other days お looked like a complete stranger again.

We’re taking it slowly and doing it together, which is the best part. The other 26 hiragana come next, then katakana. Someday I’d love to play a game in Japanese without reaching for a dictionary, and maybe we’ll even chat in Japanese only, who knows? ;)
