I'm going to start learning this language this summer.
I'm going to get me one of those Rosetta Stone CDs and try to learn how to speak Japanese a little bit that way.
This might come in handy later this summer if I can get to go to San Francisco and get to meet Kimi.
I want to go eat some lobster at that restaurant we were talking about last summer.

I would strongly reccomend you not use Rosetta Stone for Japanese. I used to try and use it and found there were so many ways, it failed the language. Japanese is language based on levels of politeness, including "honorifics". The way Rosetta Stone is set up, it treats Japanese like any other language, but it is really not. There are so many things you never learn, until you meet someone who is Japanese and will start correcting you!

Seriously if you really want to learn Japanese, enroll in a language school with real Japanese instructors, or take a college course. The more formal the better. You will end up wasting your money on Rosetta Stone, as far as Japanese goes.

But, what about the lobster dinner?

Ha ha ha!!!

You're too cool for school, Kimi.

Thanks for the advice.
