Something good came in the mail yesterday. I found out that I got into that Japanese class I applied for a while back. I was starting to get a bit worried since the class starts on the 30th, but everything's happy.
I'm horrid at languages, really. I was able to learn read, write, and understand French fairly well back in high school. True, I had my occasional troubles with verb conjugations. But my real problem was with speaking it. My accent and pronunciation was atrocious. It worries me a bit that this elementary class focuses on conversation because of that. Hopefully everything will go well, though. It seems to be easy for me to get discouraged when learning something these days, but maybe my desire to learn it will overcome that.
