Checklist for Season 1 part 1

Here is a list of what I need to do to finish the first third of textfugu season 1 (of four). It boils down to finsihing one more worksheet (easy concept, just using desu). I liked doing the combo worksheet because my yo and re were not so good. To go beyond this point you need to subscibe, it is $20/month or $120 forever. I think I will do the forever at the end of this month.
