[Lyric]

I too am in grade eleven. with only four years of experience, I too am limited. I can although tell you that my older sister has gone through collage studying the language on the side (In high school too). It was not easy, but by her words she enjoyed every moment of it. I know this is not much help, but I would suggest really learning the vocabulary you do know by introducing them into every day life. This has served me will with not only Japanese, but other languages as well. if you practise everyday...(seems weird, I know) most of the vocabulary you would have "memorized" ( for tests ) will become second nature to you over time.

I would not mind having some conversations with you in the language, it might be helpful on both sides.
