She is very nice and it was hard to find anyone here in the 
sticks of Northern California to help me with my Japanese 
over the summer.  I consider myself fortunate to be working 
with her.  Unfortunately for me, she's also half my age and 
very happily married. (sigh)

An occasional inaccuracy is ok, especially since she said 
up-front "I don't know the rule..."  I may mention this to 
her and may not.  The hour a week we have goes far to 
quickly as is.  This week was spent going over a letter from 
a friend over there and trying (mostly in vain) to sort out 
the -ba form of a verb.  More book-time...

BTW -- I really appreciate this forum.  Besides learning a 
lot from you, this group is fun.
