Alright. This is how it is going to work.
I will post a list of Vocab words for you to learn and some grammer points that you need to know, and other little things.
At the end of the month I will make up a test for those who are particaping in the class. You must PM me for the test or you will not get it. This is not madatory for the Guild, just a way to start off the lessons for the begginers.
On the tests, I ask that you do not cheat. Because that is only hurtting you.
If you want to get the test, you MUST post in this thread. If you do not, we will not know if you are particapating.

Two things I noticed which might be helpful. "Rubber" is not the word most Americans use for けしゴム(keshigomu). We say 'eraser.' 'Rubber' is slang for condoms. It's important to note the difference.
Also, there is one exception in saying one's age. When you are 20 years old, it is acceptable to say 二十歳／二十才(nijyuusai) but it is very common to hear people say 二十歳／はたち(hatachi)

And I think we can all be mature enough to take rubber as eraser instead of termonlogy for a condom.
