Aloha, well, I can tell you the teaching is still working. Although I haven’t been to my lessons as often as I’d like, it still seems as though I’ve retained most of what I’ve learned. My communication with the Japanese tourists on the boat has gotten better. A bit one sided, but I’m getting my point across to them all thanks to my tutors. No longer am I just sitting there trying to communicate with hand gestures and waiting for them to follow what the english speaking tourist do. What I’ve learned really helps out when I have a boat full of Japanese tourist. Thanks NACOS, you’re helping me out tremendously.
