Japanese Lessons

Hi everyone. This thread will be for anyone who wants to learn Japanese. I will post a new lesson for you to study and then you will take a quiz on it. Every four quizzes there will be a test. If you would like to learn a different language then comment on my profile and I'll see about starting another thread. Anyone who can not be on that day for a lesson, quiz, or test can always make it up later. You will just have a little make up work to do. You can drop out any time just say so on this thread so I will know why. If you have any questions just ask and I will gladly answer. Also, this class is based on the fact that while doing a lesson or quiz/test you will not cheat and look at the answers. If you do cheat you will only be hurting yourself and you will not truly be learning Japanese.
