I just finished learning what most Japanese people take 9 years to do in roughly 5 months. I'd say that's pretty good. I still have a little under 1000 kanji to learn totally 3007, but I'll do that as I'm inputting sentences. I have 10,000 sentences to input now, but now is when my Japanese really will start to improve.

From earlier this week:

I love being ridiculous:

I wish I had a video camera in school sometimes. I was teaching kids how to say:
A: "Where do you live?"
B: "I live in Akasaka-cho."
We were using this CD to learn, where it has a beat in the background and I say the words to the beat. I had the kids rapping. Inbetween sentences I would say "HEYYYY" "HOOO"! Freestyle a little then get back to the lesson. And what makes it hilarious is that the teacher went with me and started acting like a DJ. He held is hand up to his ear and started scratching like a record was infront of him hahahah. It's classes like these that remind me why I love this job.
