Hello everyone, I hope that I'm doing this right. I will admit, I'm still getting used to using this, so please be patient with me.

I was curious, for those who struggle with reading or writing here: do you have any tips? I feel like I'm slowly making progress, but it's frustrating when you can't read most of what you find in the library. I think I saw something about learning, but I may be mistaken.

Alternately, is there anyone who wants to put together small study groups for those of us who aren't as proficient with reading and writing in Japanese? Does something like that exist? If not, would anyone be interested?

Would a dictionary really be useful at this point, even before I've learned the basics? That almost seems like putting the horse before the cart.

[toremainbehind]

There are basic characters that can help you. Though, if not dictionaries, then there are basic grammar books.

[rememberher]

Workbooks, right? Someone else mentioned those, yes.

[ Someone who had been lifting them from stores, but... ]

[toremainbehind]

It could be very useful in helping you.

[rememberher]

Then I will be sure to try that. Are there any other books you might recommend? I've been trying to read children's books, but after a while they all get a little mutinous.

[toremainbehind]

There are some poetry books you can give a try?

[rememberher]

That sounds like an interesting challenge, I may have to try it. I'll be sure to let you know how that goes.

[toremainbehind]

Be sure that you do. It'd be good to keep track of your progress.

[rememberher]

You sound almost mildly interested. If I didn't know any better, I would say you might be at least somewhat intrigued by the whole thing; seeing said progress, that is. How curious.

[toremainbehind]

It'd be wrong of me as a teacher not to make sure if you're making any progress with your learning.

[rememberher]

Oh, you're a teacher? At the school here, I assume? What subjects do you teach?

[toremainbehind]

I teach math, Japanese, and English.

[rememberher]

In that case, maybe you can help me as well.

[toremainbehind]

It'd be an honor of mine to teach you, Lux.

[rememberher]

Is there anything I can offer in return? It seems a bit unfair that you would teach me and I can't give any sort of payment.

[toremainbehind]

Currently, there's nothing I can think of, but if something does, I'll be sure to tell you.

[rememberher]

Please do. I'll admit that I'm still figuring out what I'm good at, but I want to be able to offer something in return. So, if you think of anything, please let me know.

[toremainbehind]

Will do.
