When is it appropriate to use "desu ne" "desu ka" "desu yo" ? I am aware that I would use "ですか" when asking questions. Also, to use "ですね" as "right?" such as すごいですね。 How about ですよ? If you can further expound on their usages, that would be really awesome. Note: No Kanji ください。 ありがとうございます。

When is it appropriate to use kudasai and onegaishimasu? Also, tanomu? I used to be only confused with kudasai and onegaishimasu. And then I have encountered the word tanomu which also means please. Thanks for your help in advance!

What is the difference between Odaijini and Ki o tsukete? This is in reference to someone leaving or going somewhere and you want to say "take care" in Japanese. Thank you.

5 September 2015 I enjoyed the session today although I could say that time telling is really tough; seems like a tongue twister for me LOL. I really appreciate Kana sensei for being ever so patient and for always taking time to correct me even if I'm just missing a word because it is essential. As I'm writing this, my dream is to be able to write a session review in Japanese. Yes, I dream big. ^_^ Oh I almost forgot, I wasn't able to do my homework because I was kind of busy the whole week and I had difficulty doing it LOL. It was like I know what it was all about but I just didn't know the answer. Kana sensei had me answer some of the homework impromptu instead and I really had fun.

29 August 2015 Today, I have learned about the proper usages of は and の. Also, I've learned more words that could be useful in conversations. We had a question and answer activity based on the textbook and workbook we're using which I really had fun learning as I could say that I'm improving in terms of my conversation skills. I could also say that even though I already know or have learned these words or usages, that I still need to practice and use them regularly just so I won't forget. Practice makes permanent so they say. We've covered the following today: 1. Review of numbers in Kanji 2. Nationality 3. Year 4. Age 5. School 6. Major 7. Occupation Reminders to self: 1. Workbook pages 14, 16, 17, 18 (except part B) and 19 2. Textbook up to page 57 3. Hiragana last exercises 4. Review Katakana

22 August 2015 Today, I've learned to read and write numbers in Kanji (hahaha!) I had the surprise of my life. She gave it to me last week but I forgot about it (as I was studying Hiragana and got sick in between). She gave me a worksheet for the Kanji numbers including the right strokes on how to write them. We've reviewed about asking and giving out phone numbers. Also, asking about a person's age; both formal and informal. She also taught me that ages 1, 8 and 0 are special numbers; most especially 20. I still get confused about using はand の but I think this is in another lesson. Also, the usages of the following: すみません：Excuse me しつれい：rude が：but おいくつ：how many (polite way to imply age) か：？ すみません。しつれいですが、おいくつですか。 Annnnd! I got load of homework (Yay! I love homework.) Reminders to self: 1. すうじとねんれい 2. Kanji Number stroke practice 3. Phone number and age exercise 4. Workbook pages 13 and 17 5. Textbook pages 42 and 51 6. Review katakana Practice practice practice! べんきょう　べんきょう　べんきょう！
