We had our Japanese for the first time in a while teacher after she went to the year 7 camp, and so we got back to the normal lessons. We were expected to learn all the hiragana and their mechanics, but I wasn't able to remember all of them.

There's this one weird thing about it that I still don't understand. It has to do with ya, yu and yo. If they are written smaller, it somehow affects the character before it. I think what it does is that it keeps the previous character's consonant, but replaces the vowel with that character. Anyway, the teacher said that she won't use romaji anymore, and that she will only use hiragana from now on. 

When she asked us to read out a couple of words, I tried my best to read the hiragana, and I can, but it just takes quite a bit. However, since I knew that word already, I just read it out and no problems there. 

Japanese is quite simple for me, as the confusing parts of the language are part of the Korean language, so all that's really left is for me to learn the words and that's it.
