にほんごはむずかしいですね。。。

ごめんなさい! There is one more thing to be done: kvetch.

This last week of class has been tough – I like writing the angular characters found in カタカナ (is Katakana supposed to be written in Katakana?) more than the complicated (but stylish) twists of ひらがな. I also don't have an ear yet for the varying degrees of formality, nor do I have a grasp of when something is a long vowel. Most of the time I can hear a long "oh" for example (as in どうぞ or がっこう)but not a long "i" (as in むずかしい).

How are long vowels treating you?
