host family

hello people,
this is my second day with my host family.
so much to tell you :p
日本語
so far my limited japaneses has been interesting, omoshiroi.i can make jokes and let them know the baisics of how i am feeling eg samukunai! (i am not cold, mum and dad you understand) but at times i find that i am being spoken at not spoken to as there are many things i dont understand. thought i have brought some text books that might help*find out later what they are*
