Maki-chan! (Your name isn't from Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai is it?) Wow, I can't believe you got to go to high school in Japan, especially after only 3 years learning in high school. I talked to another exchange girl on my trip to Japan who had learned two years of Japanese in high school, but she didn't know anything about plain form and barely -te form either! I had only been studying eight months in college and I knew a lot more than her (but then I've read through all of my school books. Heh, I'm an obsessed nerd :mrgreen: ). How much did you know before going? Was it an easy transition? And most importantly, how were the hot school boys?! Oh yeah, where did you stay if you weren't in Tokyo?
No, my name is just a random Japanese name that was bestowed upon me by my friends many many years ago. XD I actually studied for 4 years before I went, and since I'm a super nerd (like you XD) I know a whole lot because I always watch dramas and anime and listen to japanese music ^^; When I got there I could understand pretty much everything they said to me but I had a hard time actually speaking. I'm good now though :D and YES!!! the school boys were so hot!!!! O_O It was the best ever. XD I didn't stay in Tokyo, it was way north of Tokyo in Miyagi Prefecture. (Not that anyone has ever heard of it... but oh well XD)
