Dude, you are like, AMAZING at Japanese. I wrote about you for my Spanish assignment. :P We had to talk about someone and a profession that they should be in. I said that you should be a teacher for English or other languages. One of the reasons I put was that you were fantastic at languages and it's very true! You catch on very well. I mean, I'm in Spanish 4 and you have never taken Spanish; yet, you are just as fluent as me it seems if it not better. :P

But anyways! yes! Japanese:) Dudeeee, I'm telling you, when you take this in the University you go to, you really will be top of your class. You have the knowledge and devotion to the language. Plus, you have an advantage over everyone else, you will have already studied it for years. :P
Dude, I wish that I were as good at learning languages as you are! It's an amazing skill to have.
