We gotta know Miki from Alvin and Eva's wedding earlier this year. We kept in touch and later on I found out that she actually provides private Japanese tuition. Beth and I had always wanted to pick up the language especially since we shoot in Japan quite often. In fact, we are headed back for Kyoto next April for Cherry Blossoms season again.

The lessons were suppose to start in August but it got delayed with Nessya's birth and my travels. Meanwhile, to not delay the lessons and to show some commitment, we got Kyra started instead! Ha!

So last evening, Kyra had her first Jap lessons. Miki hit it off real well with Kyra. By the end of the lesson, Kyra actually kissed her goodbye without being asked to! No doubt, the box of animal shaped biscuits that Miki brought along helped bribe the little one.

By the end of the evening, Kyra was telling us Konichiwa, Arrigatoo, Ichi Ni San and could say her own name, Ka I Ra.

Beth meanwhile pointed out the fact that she could pick up Jap even before she speaks mandarin!
