| Muzukashii desu ne! | |

6.29.2005
9:42 PM | Link | Tonight I had my first session of Japanese conversation practice, and it was fun and mentally exhausting! I found several tutors on the web, and I picked this guy Kazuki because he's a native speaker. He's a really nice guy, and he regularly does Japanese to English translation for anime series (he's working on Hello Kitty and Mega-Man right now!). He did a fantastic job of asking me tons of questions and keeping things flowing, but I was embarrassed at how difficult it was for me. Even though I can understand all the stuff I read in books and ace all the lessons I do on my computer, right now I just can't put it all together yet. My listening skills were good - besides asking about some vocabulary I didn't know, I pretty much could follow it all. I just get hung up when I try to make an actual sentence myself! I'm not feeling discouraged, though - I'm going to try doing this weekly until my mouth catches up with my brain. I've been wanting some "talking practice" for such a long time - now I realize how desperately I need it! |
