Well, it's hard when you don't really know it yet. I've fallen behind in that class. I failed my hiragana test because I forgot it was the date that it was on. I've just now mastered hiragana, and since I spent all my time doing that, I haven't learned much katakana yet. On the bright side, my dialogue and vocab (in romaji anyway) are pretty good. ^_^
And, actually, our first kanji lesson will be tomorrow right after the test.
