こんばんは,

I am excited about learning Japanese for the first time this semester.  Although I have only had a couple days of class so far, I can tell that learning to write and read in all three alphabets is going to be very difficult. However, after I am able to master all three, learning Japanese will become much easier and more understandable.  I wanted to learn Japanese because I have always been curious about it as a language but never able to comprehend any of it (except for "Arigato" and "Konnichiwa").  I am looking forward to what I hope to be a new and very rewarding experience.

Wish me luck,
