A lot has happened this past week with regards to my Japanese learning. Just a week ago, I only had a weak knowledge of greetings and expressions, but over the course of the week, not only have I learned all of hiragana, but I have begun to understand some other basic vocabulary and sentence structure - as seen in this introduction above. I am still horribly limited in how much I can produce, but it is now a nonzero amount.
