My japanese coach lessons 1 trough 5

I knew 21 words before starting, so let’s see how many words I 'learned' in these 5 lessons.
first lesson, 4 new words
second lesson, 2 new words
third lesson, 15 new words
fourth lesson, 7 new words
fifth lesson, 10 new words
Which gives a total of 38 new words, which means my Japanese words have more than doubled XD from 21 to 59.
