My colleague told me there is no placing "so that" at the sentence-initial position. She said the pharse can only appear in the middle or near the end of a sentence. But I am sure I have seen examples somewhere in which "so that" was given the sentence-initial position. I'd appreciate it if anyone could explain this to me and quote me some classic examples. Thanks in advance.

I am interested in learning how to speak Mandarin Chinese, and I'm curious to know how long it might take me in order to be adequate at the language. I am a college student on summer break right now so I have plenty of free time. Also, I have studied Japanese and French.
Also, lemme just say that I am not interested in learning how to write or read Chinese right now.....all I want to know is how long it would take until I would be able to maybe...listen to a Chinese television show and understand what they are saying, or maybe travel to Asia and be able to get along okay.

what did Kasigi Yabu say, near the end when the galley rounded the bend and Blackthorne, Vinck and Yabu saw the burnt wreck of the Erasmus, Blackthorne's ship?

After Vinck and Blackthorne moaned a bit, Yabu seemed a bit upset too and made a little speech, all in unsubtitled Japanese, of course.

I am dying to know what he said, to explain his reaction to the sight.

This is my guess: Yabu had staked his future on Ishido when he had been forced to help Ishido's attempted kidnap and assassination of Lady Mariko. Yabu had seen Lord and Lady Ishido show respect to Blackthorne during Mariko's funeral, and had guessed that Ishido had plans for Blackthorne, possibly involving using the Erasmus to rob the Black Ship.

So that when Yabu saw the Erasmus was a burned wreck, he realized he'd been wrong and his karma was not as good as he'd thought. I figured Yabu saw his death coming at that point.

But I can't be sure, until I know what he said!
btw this is the tv shogun, not the movie
