the first half of intermediate Japanese has been a great learning experience. Intermediate is a faster pace course than beginning Japanese. i can conjugated the A時、B, which means ~When. A前、B which means~before and A後、B means ~after. i know the difference between  と思っています and と思います.  と思っています means already decided on a situation, while  と思います means on the spot, to think. i know how to use てあげる・～てもらう・～てくれる properly. あげる means i do something to someone. もらう means i received action from someone. くれる means someone do something for me. To improve for the next half of the semester i hope to clearly identify the kanji, and to properly conjugate present negatives and past negatives for certain verbs and adjectives.
