I think I'm turning Japanese....

We have two J.O.C.V.'s at Assumption High School. Tsuyoshi and Asumi. It stands for Japanese O-word C-word Volunteers. They are pretty nice. I think Asumi's English is much better than Tsuyoshi's, apparently though last year when he got here it was even worse!

They are pretty cool. though I am told many a story of Rie, who was here last year before Asumi. She was supposedly a fun fun time. Tsuyoshi was a chemistry major and Asumi... I'm not sure I think Music. Tsuyoshi teaches math math math and chemistry. Asumi teaches music.
My goal is to use them to learn Japanese so Ian will take me to Japan. I will learn some Marshallese, enough to be accepted, understand people, and have basic conversation. but honestly the use of learning a language known to 30,000 people? int he whole world? other than cool factor it isn't much. ANd the little I will learn will satisfy cool factor.

So Japanese here I come.
