Today was my fifth lesson through Skype. Today we reviewed question words and I practiced answering them with actual facts from my life. I had to practice not only speaking my answers out loud but typing my answers using Hiragana & Katakana. Typing is very different and requires a lot of concentration to sound out each syllable. We also practiced reviewing my self-portrait, numbers, months of the year, and hours 10 times each. I am learning to hear the rhythm of a sentence by learning to pause at the particles. I am increasing my speed and fluency. Mahalo Michiko, for your patience and encouragement.
