Leah is taking Japanese again this year, with several of her friends. She's one of the "advanced" students because she knows how to say basic phrases like "Arigatou Gozaimasu". I'm not super-happy with the curriculum, which his so basic and slow-going that it's hard to imagine the kids really learning much. Her teacher (Ito-Sensei, in the background) exposes them to more than they'd get at home, I suppose, but I wish she would push harder, especially with serious homework.
