A few more words

Still slowly learning, am I. 

Watashi no okasan wa Vancouver de ikimashita. (My mom came to Vancouver.) She visited last shuumatsu (weekend) and various crazy events conspired to give me another atarashii uchi (new house). So I'm moving again, which is inconvenient and irritating, but I will be happy once it's just all over. Also, my new place is much nicer, though it's a furuii uchi (old house) - over 80 years old! 

Watashi no nihongo hanashimasu no tomodachi Katie san wa Australia de ikimashita! (My Japanese-learning friend Katie went to Australia!) She's going to be there for the next four months, so I don't really have anyone to learn with, which is definitely slowing me down. Katie san to watashi no tomodachi Amanda san mo nihongo o hanashimasu demo Amanda san wa atarashi desu. (Our friend Amanda is also studying Japanese, but she is new.... to language learning. 

I have learned a few words since my last post:
honya - bookstore
machi - town, city
mokuyoobi - Thursday (almost done my days of the week!)
imasu - (a person) is in, stays at... (I don't really understand how to use this one yet)
hitori de - alone 
ushiro - back (direction)

Time for new words!
