Learning Japanese i really think so

in fukuoka now learning the impossible language of japanese. i commend anyone that has mastered (or nearly mastered) the language (John, tori, alex) or those that majored in it. it is very hard and there is so much that i don't know. it has really put my language abilities so far into perspective. ie. i suck! the school is wonderful, very small and intimate. the material is precise and thorough. the other students seem nice and we have plans to hang out with them tonight and the next night. so far, our time in fukuoka is going very well.
