Japanese class

twenty-eight years and a million words

My first class went well. I'm signing my life away tomorrow. It's actually only two months, since I missed the first two weeks (more or less), and it's only three hours a day. But I think that that's probably going to be about as much as I can manage, as my homework took an hour when I got home.
One of the things we learned today was how to say "I can do (an activity)", which leads to variants like "at such and such a place I can do (an activity)" and "with such and such a tool I can do (an activity)".
