“I figure the universe is basically like a machine. I don’t know who made it but it chugs along the way its suppose to most of the time. Sure little pieces break and stuff goes haywire once in a while, but, mostly things happen for a reason.”

GENKI I: LESSON 3 NOTES

whoo. this lesson was long and hard. it took me around 12 hours over 4 days. most of the time was spent in the grammar section trying to understand all the particles that were thrown at you this lesson. nevertheless, i persevered and finished the workbook a few hours ago. this lesson also started giving kanji, which added extra time. i really love using jisho.org to look up kanji meanings and the stroke order. the interface is very nice and i highly recommend it! onward to lesson 4! how was your guys’ week?
