@smellsofbikes Ah ok! Yeah and as someone who studied English and French as a second/third language, I know there's a lot of irregularities and exceptions.
There's even a saying:
習うより慣れろ
"Rather than studying, get used to it"
?
I was a translator/interpreter but teaching JP is a whole different skill set. But I'm game whenever you want to try the above? (to the extent that I'm able)
