hajimemashite (はじめまして、初めまして) - pleased to meet you

To commemorate receiving a position to teach English in Japan for a year, I've decided to start this blog to help me study Japanese. I've got Barron's to help me review, but so far, I haven't memorized too many words from the book. Here's what I've got from randomly flipping through and doing conversations with Jo today:

sakki (さっき) - just now, just a little while ago
taitei (たいてい) - usually
eki (えき、駅) - train, bus, or subway station
benri (べんり、便利) - convenient
