Pimsleur Japanese II...
I decided I've had enough of the same old rock songs I've been listening for decades; trying to get "in to" (frankly) crappy new rock; and (sorry) the handful of jazz - Coltrane mostly, I listen to.
So, I reasoned that I could make the best use of my time trying to master a radical language, Japanese (which I picked out of a hat...) I figure that will keep me occupied for some time and at least I would learn something other than the lyrics to "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp".
So if you see some mental patient in a black convertible trying to pronounce "wakatimas" on the Blue Route or PA Turnpike in the mornings, that would be me. So far I'm up to lesson 32 out of 90 (each lesson 1/2 hour each, listen to 2 or 3 times after the first ten or so...)
