So it starts out pretty repetitive then something that sounds incredibly hard. No build up or anything? Doesn't seem right to me.
I've had the same teacher for two years before this. :c It just suddenly jumped in difficulty like ten levels jdkfsdaf
She also speaks like 100 words of english so no one knows what she's trying to teach us. I'm independent studying during a J.1 class and one girl pronounced katakana like "kuhtahkaynee" and she just goes, "That very cute. But that is not the way the Japanese would the speak." on the bright side she's really cute and lets us do whatever we want, really.
that awkward moment when you've always wanted to learn Japanese and you see this thread. ;~; This is pretty much what I'm afraid of when it comes to the AP American History course I'm taking this year. I've heard stories from people who took it last year too. I'm dead. D-E-A-D
Probably. I mean, America=USA, so yeah. I'm taking that, AP Language and Composition and AP Computer Science.
Oh yes! Someone else knows what I'll be going through. <3 Still, having to spend the last three weeks or so of your summer reading a book about Facebook, one about how American history textbooks are wrong, and one about WWII isn't exactly my ideal ending to a great summer.
Man, I wish they would have taught Japanese at my middle school and my high school, that probably would have been very awesome. I had to have a translator on my trip to Japan and it was a little embarrassing. •n•
I'll try to remember this when I take japanese classes. Although, that's one heck of a difficulty curve. I down't think any video game can beat that
