I don't remember which way I learned it in highschool, the -masu, that is. I remember learning dictionary form pretty early, but maybe I'm going loony-bins. were we in the same class?
"I was teaching myself Japanese for about a year and a half before I was able to get into a class that my school didn't cancel a week into the semester, " I remember that, man, that sucked. I had to take japanese 11/12 at camosun, instead of moving forward. And then, again, more 100 level japanese once I got to uvic. You'd think after 5 years of study, I'd be actually past 200 level.
I've thought about continuing japanese study, and I eventually did well enough in 249 to take 311, but I didn't. Probbaly because i was so sick of Japanese for breakfast, lunch and dinner at that time that I wanted a break from feeling like I had no idea what I was talking about.
