More Irasshai. 1 – 2 hrs per day. I also got to speak with two Japanese friends at a BBQ today.

Welcome. A lot of new members recently. I hope it continues to grow and stays active.

Watching Irasshai http://www.gpb.org/irasshai Into Season II. Vocab is mostly review but I get a lot of listening practice.
