Reflection 10

1. I learned some finer points in the reading in Chapter 1. I also listened to a whole lot of presentations.

2. Listening to other peoples' presentations.

3. Doing that accursed presentation without passing out. I was able to do it before the Japanese students arrived, so I didn't get as nervous as I would have.

4. Finishing up Chapter 1 and learning the kanji. Reading is okay, but writing takes quite a bit more effort.

5. Study and practice writing the kanji. I don't need to physically write them, but I do need to make sure my fingers know the stroke order.

6. de/kara dekite imasu. Made from or out of. If it retains the same form, then it is de, if it is a completely different form, then it is kara.

私は日本にマツマロクリームがない（でも、マツマロがある）とかビールはホップスでできているとかマウンタンパイはキャンプファイアの何かが中にあるサンドイッチだとかかっこいい洋服はいい音楽家のために大切だとか弟は日本人の女に「きゅうん～！」と言わせるを習いました。
