Katakana conundrum

Jennell, I am glad to know that you are still alive and having more adventures. Your thanksgiving sounded so much more interesting than the same turkey, cranberries, and Lions football mixed with the same conversations as last year that we had. If it were not for your travels I would not know the difference between Saipan and and sampan. Now I have to look them up on Wikipedia (click on the post title for that wiki).

I was thinking that with all the trouble you are having with the Japanese maybe you should take a class in it or something. I think about my response to the Spanish speaking people that live and work in this country and how they ought to learn the language. Do the Japanese feel the same way?

Hmmm...learn 50-80 THOUSAND kanji characters...nope! I did take a class...it was way hard...not likely that I am going to learn Japanese any time soon. I would love to figure it all out though because being illiterate is NOT fun! It bugs me on a regular basis. But being a visual learner means that the fact that they don't use our letters is a huge issue for me. Oh well...maybe I'll get a transfer soon! :)
