Japanese class today finds Shannon trying to remember the approximately 10 words of Romanian that she knows. We had to go around asking each other if we understood a particular language, and my classmate asked me if I understood 'romania-go

Eeee, you used to work in a library? (That's not quite the weirdest LOC heading I've seen. In my cataloguing class last year we had a competition going to see who could find the oddest, most obcure subject heading, and the winner was something to do with "postage stamps from a certain date depicting clowns in..." it was so long and convoluted I've kind of forgotten the details)

I'm not quite sure with my Japanese level. I do Japanese 4(which more or less corresponds to second year second semester) at uni as an elective. However my learning is a bit all over the place, as I started out learning Japanese on my own from books, and then from going to Japan, so when I first started it at uni I was put into Japanese 3, but was ahead in some things, and quite behind in others, and still sort of am like that. I hope that made sense^^;;

Hehe thats awesome!(is about a month away from finishing her library studies)

XD I have no idea how they found that, I really don't...

XD actually, I was on holiday for a month last February, but I was travelling with a friend who has a degree in linguistics, his major was Chinese, japanese was his minor, so I got a continual Japanese lesson from him. We also stayed with a friend whose family didn't speak English so I learned a bit there(even though they spoke Kansai-ben). I generally could understand what was being said, but I was hopeless at contributing to the conversation.

It seems like a really short time, but I absorbed a lot, and luckily didn't lose it becasue I started doing Japanese at uni like 3 days later. (I came back from Japan on a Sunday and had my first uni class of the year uni the day after I got back. Rather predictably, I fell asleep in class)
