Phew! Language. Can I learn the language? My students have been barraging me with that question since I told them about the trip and that I was going to meet students, etc. I just don't know if I'll get it. I have to admit I get lost when Clay speaks and I have to follow along in text. I just don't know the phonetics at all. But, I have a colleague who lived in Japan for 7 years and whose wife is Japanese so I think I'll ask him for resources. I also remember a bookstore on Sawtelle that had dictionaries, etc.

Berlitz is a good brand to go with. I have my Dutch language dictionaries/phrase books from that company.
