Like instead of teaching you guys "すいません”　first, I'll want you guys to be able to say:

きょうかしょ　を　わすれました

So that you can "add" すいません for some native speaker points and combine it all to make it:

すいません、教科書を忘れました。

But if I taught auxillary stuff first, or in between, it just seems confusing IMHO.

 

Are you sure you don't mean すみません?

I'm sure they don't smoke

Nah, Suimasen can and is also used as a "substitute" for Sumimasen. Or rather, its a shortened version of it (and less polite I believe).

And smoking is Suu. Its "Tabako wo suu no?" rather than "Takabo wo sui no?"

Haha, but he's right though, when I'm writing I should used the formal version. That's why I need to study Japanese more, I can speak it casually, but I can't speak it formally, nor write it properly at all.
