We will also learn how to refer to people and more importantly, when not to. We will then take what we learned to get to know each other a little. Finally, we&#8217;ll take our first look at kanji (already!) and how they can help us learn vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>\u203bThis lesson will be recorded and posted on this site along with my notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lesson Date and Time<\/strong><br \/>\nTime: Sun 9:00 am,  Tokyo Time (No DST) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timezoneconverter.com\/cgi-bin\/tzc.tzc\">convert time<\/a>)<br \/>\nDate: April 23<br \/>\nLength: 30 min to 1 hour<br \/>\nParticipants: cc, Jenny, Joshua, Jyosua<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
