I have so far sent 6 links to myself regarding various elements that make up the Japanese language. I believe that now is the time to  actually start LEARNING and practising,  rather than let someone talk to me for a while and me reply with ‘wakarimasen, gomen nasai’ (I don’t understand, I’m sorry).

I might go the whole hog and try to learn Hiragana and Katakana (the alphabets) as well…

I will keep you updated!
