This Sunday went by way too quickly. I'm not ready to go through another week of sitting through classes trying to slam more Japanese into my head before the next exam. I thought I was going to catch up on some much needed sleep but I've kept myself pretty busy this weekend with studies and going out for drinks the other night. The new grammar points are just as confusing as the old ones and I keep expecting that to change. Like I'll have some over night transformation like the guy in "A Man Named Horse" or something, that suddenly the language will just dawn on me.
Unfortunately I'm not learning anything through osmosis yet and unless I put some major prep time into translating my book into English, I'm typically left in the dark during class. Like right now, we're using some grammar that is very similar to the basic explanation grammar we studied before. The difference is, and this is the kicker, "nuance". The dictionary site explains nuance as, a subtle difference or distinction in expression, meaning, response, etc. Now try wrapping your head around a slight difference in meaning when it's being explained in a foreign language that you don't really understand in the first place.
