Re: need a piece of advice

I have been practicing for about a month as well and I get it all confused right now too. Sensei will do something and ask us what it is called. For the life of me, it all sounds alike when I am in class. Now, I can distinguish techniques in my mind or if I see the word written, but for some reason when I hear the Japanese terms, they all get jumbled in my brain when I am in class. I think it will pass in time and we will move on to other things to be confused about. Since I am a more visual learner, I have found that it helps to look at the words and read the definitions so that when I am in class, I recognize what sensei is saying a little bit more often.
