Excursions in Japanese II

[areea_chan]

I finally had my first Japanese II class today!  Why didn't I have it on Tuesday?  Because of the ice in the last entry.  Then to top it al off, on Wednesday we had three inches of snow.  You people in countries that get lots of snow are laughing me.  "HA HA HA, YOU PATHETIC SOUTHERNER AND YOUR THREE INCHES OF SNOW.  WE GET FIVE FEET OF SNOW AND

My Japanese class had about 40 students. There were so many of us that I just got bored with the class and by midterms, I was barely attending. The teacher is pure Japanese and can barely speak English, so when he explains, we all had to have our Japanese-English dictionaries ready.

It was sad, although I did learn to speak and understand a little, i'm hopeless when it comes to writing. I barely passed and my sensei actually confronted me about my attendance because apparently,

"You had more potential than the rest".

I guess it's from the fact that I can read a little kanji. Lol. Only, I read it in Chinese, not Japanese.

Another Jun-bait. Why are there so many of us?

Big fan of Fukuyama Masaharu. I don't know why, he really appeals to me! I loved Galileo so much it's not even funny! Jin I can live without. I asked the same question in the KATTUN fandom last year and they totally ate me. Better not ask that question to "most" KATTUN fans.

I wondered about Ayumi and Setsuna because people keep saying that Ayumi is the sd, but it doesn't sound the same. Glad you cleared that up.

Sorry for the long posts/ramblings. I have no life. : )

But Yay! "You Never Have to Be Alone Part 3...and Part 4...make it less angsty"

I think smaller classes are better for learning foreign languages. We had 16-18 people in class last semester, and it felt like there weren't as many distractions. We could really work one-on-one, and we all got to know each other. I made new friends in that class that I don't think I would have made if the class had been bigger.

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with Japanese class. On the writing part, did you have to learn a lot of kanji? We learned about 20 characters, and I wish we'd learned more. We're supposed to learn between 50-100 characters this semester.

Oooh, KAT-TUN fans are scary. Jin's okay. He's a hard person to read, but he's okay. I don't understand his overall appeal, though.

Ayumi and Setsuna are two different songs. Setsuna is the VOICE end theme. I want a full version to come out so badly!

I have no life, either. I'm a bear in hibernation.

Making the story less angsty from here on out will be very hard. This will require a lot of thought.

I came from a Chinese school (halfie!) I can read and write kanji. (Brush and all that) The problem is understanding!

I can read katana and hiragana. But if you ask me to write a letter or paragraph...Sigh.

Setsuna I want so BAD.

I had a life yesterday. Today...is a different matter altogether.

Oh, i'll read any TomaPi. Angsty, cracky, porny, corny, whiny. As long as Toma and YamaPi are the main characters, i'm SOLD.

Ah, so you have more problems with writing words and such. It does get difficult because you have to know the words and the right particles and sometimes there's more than one particle together or one of the million verb endings that all mean "maybe."

Sadly, no Setsuna until March 11. They're going to make us suffer for it. Unless it somehow gets leaked to the internet...*prays*

Haha, awesome. Then I won't worry so much about it, even though Rei keeps insisting I make it less angsty.
