"This
afternoon we plan to bike ride down to Eldorado Springs -- 9 miles
south....It'll be good relaxation to get away from the Navy Japanese Language
School, ‘which sets men to chattering Japanese in three months,’ even for a few
days. The above quotation if from a
quote posted on the bulletin board by some jokester. Apparently it was clipped from a magazine. Anyhow it ran like this ‘It used to be
thought that Japanese couldn't be learned in 4 years of intensive study; but
the Navy Language School at Boulder, Colo., sets you to chattering it in 3
months.’ Well -- I haven't noticed
myself chattering it yet."
