I'm writing a message to my fiancie over the e-mail. I'm trying to explain that "I will study in 2 months."

私は2月にべんきょうをします。

I don't want her to think that I will begin to study next February...lol. How would I go about this?

She understand english perfectly, but she knows I like to write my e-mails in Japanese all the time. I don't want her to get the wrong idea. 

If I can't find what I am looking for I will just type out "months" in Katakana.

私は2モンツにべんきょうをします。



What do you guys think is grammatically correct?

It looks seriously weird to me, but then you're better at Japanese than I am.

2月 = Nigatsu = February

2ヵ月 = Nikagetsu = two months' time

Try

私は2ヵ月 経ったら べんきょうします

経ったら = have elapsed

verstehst?

"私は2モンツべんきょうをします。"

She wouldn't know WTF モンツ was. Just write "months".


BTW, is that a Zero fighter plane?

Ja verstehe ich. Dank für die Hilfe!

The Aircraft you see is a Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate (中島き84疾風). U.S. Code name Frank. It is a texture (skin) I created for IL-2 Pacific Fighters. You can see more by following the link in my signature. :-)


I'm sure my fiancie will figure out what モンツ is. She's real smart.... :p
