Well, I started Japense lessons, two or three times a week, at the beginning of May, and there's the JET English tapes, so the answer is- no, I don't speak any *real* Japanese.
I've exchanged a few emails with the girl I'm replacing. She reckons I'll be helping with around 10 classes a week (though as many a 18 some weeks, and as few as four others), as well as few classes a month at an Elementary school and a Special ed. school, so it sounds pretty varied.
I'm all but drooling on my keyboard at the thought of ASDL, my area, well, let's just say the company's aren't in a rush to put broadband in. I don't know, we have the worst crime, worst teen pregnancies, worst STDs in London- you think they'd be doing everything in their power to get us off the streets and wasting out time energy and emotions on a computer, instead of inflicting them on each other.
A desk top probably is a better idea. I think I could deal with the keyboard- I've struggled away on Dutch and French keyboards, so I can probably adapt.
The thing is- moving to a different country, well, that's one kind of exile. I don't want to be an expat from my online community as well.
