Hi there~

Just wanted to update on my second lesson at Bunka. XD It went systematically like last time. We learnt how to tell time, then we learnt the hiragana. We actually finished all hiragana already... I think it's amazing how fast they teach hiragana, but we still need to put in effort to memorise everything.

After the short ten minute break, we learnt the six forms, but only for "Group One verbs". I got the hang of it pretty fast. But it's the conversation that confuses me. >.< Last lesson, we learnt that if A is asking B "are you coming?", B will answer "yes, I am going" and not "yes, I am coming". But this lesson, sensei said that we can answer "yes, I am coming". And that's where the confusion starts.

She tried to explain that in the first situation, ["are you coming?" ~ "yes, I am going"] applies when the two parties are talking on the phone. Otherwise, if the two parties are together, for example, "are you coming for next week's class?" then you can answer "yes, I am coming".

At least, that's what I understood from what she said... Any advice?

By the way, it's the "iku" and "kuru" verbs - "to go" and "to come". That's the only two verbs that we've learnt so far...

そうですね。こちらも以前文化で勉強していました。兵役でやめなくてはならなかったんです。懐かしいなぁ。。。 今は自分で勉強しています。でも、怠けてばかりいますので、今年も恐らく駄目だと思います。

Hmmm....

Kuru - To where the speaker is (at that point of time)
Iku - To places away from speaker

It's pretty much like English. Hope it clears some doubts. =)
