+I've been fortunate to take two trips to Japan over the last couple years.
+Leading up to those trips, I picked up learning Japanese, attempting to build
+some basic language skills for getting around. At first, I used [Duolingo][dja]
+but recently switched to [Migaku][mja].
+
+When I returned from our most recent trip, I decided to find a class so I can
+practice speaking skills. [Community College of San Francisco][ccsf] has an
+excellent program called "[Free City][fc]" that grants free tuition to residents
+of the city. It also has [Japanese program][ccsfja]. So I enrolled in their
+online Japanese 1A course.
+
+This is my first time taking formal classes since I graduated college. I'm
+looking forward to learning in a more structured way again, and also getting a
+chance to practice speaking with people rather than talking at my phone screen.
