Our First Classes, November 7th and 10th, 2007




The lessons were at the house of Warren & Patty. Without their help, '日本語 With Kris' would
not have been realized.
Thank you so much for letting us use your place, Warren and Patty!
And thank you very much for preparing pick-up food and soft drink, Patty!

We Started '日本語 With Kris'

Hello, everyone!



あけまして おめでとうございます。


I should have opened this blog long time before, but we finally started a Japanese study group, '日本語 With Kris' in Westchester, NY last November, with a lot of help from Warren & Patty Young and Tom Maclaghlin. I really appreciate their help.


Our first lesson was composed from 2 lessons: the introductory lesson and the real first lesson. There were seven members and they were beginners. They learned a lot, considering it was the first experience of Japanese for most of them. I was happy and I hope so they were.


I just want to open this blog page for members to communicate with each other and ask Kris any questions. Hope everyone can type in both English and Japanese. And I will really appreciate everyone's time to drop a line in this blog. So please feel free to write anything and ask any qestions, please.



Look forward to hearing from someone.



Kris
