Mr. Steve, thank you for your advice. They are helpful for me.

Mr. Torusan, Thank you for always checking my submissions and giving me a lot of informations.

I think if you watched the dog before, then you can say 'The dog!'. Sono inu (da)! Normally we say 'That dog'. =Ano inu (da)! That means the dog what we watched it before. If you just watch a dog, then we just say 'inu da'. You connect 'the' and 'that' in front of the noun, we notice that we watched the object or something before. If you want to emphasis about the object, then you can say that or the. I hope it will help.

Taking means 取っている。So this time,　”I'm taking a course." means 私は、コース（学科、講義など）を取っています。For example,　take an exams means 試験を受ける。We need to change the translate following at the end of the sentences. Take out means　持ち出す、連れ出す、買って持って帰る。Frequently we change the translate. But the meaning are almost the same.
