Japanese Class – Day 1
by blackhatgk on Apr.22, 2008, under Gaijin in Tokyo
So today was day 1 of Japanese class. It re-affirmed that i was actually doing better on my own than I had thought. I got alot of confidence out of the class in my ability to speak and communicate with others. My coworker on the other hand, who is taking the class with me, is struggling so far with the pronunciation and sentence structures of the japanese language. These are two hurdles I had previously dealt with when I took Japanese in college(Even though I didn’t follow through with it and decided on an easier language like spanish).
The sensei though is able to pick up the differences in our skittle levels and engages me in asking some of the more complicated structures of my coworker so that I get a lot out of the class also.
So to sum up.. Day 1.. Was exhaustive, learned a lot, affirmed a lot, and gained a lot of confidence. If it continues like this we should be good.
