    Okay,
    I know its only October, but I'm scared ****less of what will come up in the LC Japanese test. Ive been doing it for a year so far, Our teacher last year was nice, but wasnt good enough. Ive agreat one now, but I fear we're already very far behind,.
    Our class is using 'Japanese for young people parts 1 & 2. We havent been able to start the 2nd one yet. I asked my teacher for some suggestions on books so I can learn at home, and she loaned me 'A dictionary of basic Japanese Grammer' by Seiichi kino and Michio Tsutsui. The things freaking huge!!!!!!!
    And reading it, it came to me that its far more advanced than what I'm ready for.
    Any suggestions? I'm looking for something a little more 'reader friendly', y'know? The whole writing part I'm fine with, Its just..........everything else :( :P .Any help would be greatly apreciated.
    So yeah
    YEAH

    Hey lads thanks. I be gettin that book now. The kana version tho, worthwhile in the long-run.

    Sico, after having a look around I found the amazon uk sight the best priced IMO.
