Today I practiced my k's, to the point where they're almost as good as my regular vowels! I began memorizing s's and t's... but I'm having a hard time. With the flash card exercise, I can remember them right away, but practice through air-drawing them from memory has been tough. Should I move on to the next set yet? Probably not... I have to keep remembering that I should stop practicing from the beginning of the vowels every time, because then they're getting more practice than these newer consonants. Memorization through repetition...

On a side note, I need to discover a way to sound less lame when I tell people I need to study my Japanese. Christ...
