Take up Japanese again

I’ve got no problem with vocabulary – I can remember single words and phrases and all, in fact I love collecting vocabulary phrases over everything else. But it’s always the grammar that is my weakest link. Got to dig out my old notes and revise them one grammar rule at a time!

I hardly dare admit how long I have been trying (on and off, probably more off than on) to learn Japanese – it must be over 20 years! This year I achieved my ambition to visit Japan, where I didn’t manage a lot of speaking but did at least manage to read some Japanese, and after that my teacher stopped teaching so I have taken the opportunity to follow other language courses. But I have so many books on Japanese, and other Japanese materials, that I cannot possibly let these go to waste, or lose the little I have managed to acquire with so much difficulty, so will certainly get back to it at some point.
