Yamano Nihongo Gakuen

The title means Yamano Japanese Language School, and that's where I'm at!



Two Mondays ago, Dzaid and I sat for our placement test. We had to go through an interview session, then went through three horridly-kanji-ridden written test. Kanji are chinese characters used in the Japanese language, and something I'm VERY VERY bad in. D:



And wow, from lecturer to student. Unbelievable. I feel young again! \o/

The next day, we had an entrance ceremony, where we had visuals of Sakura petals falling down gracefully as Manabi proudly sings the school anthem. (Sorry for yet another hardcore anime reference)



After that, we got to know the class placement. This is where I imagined a cute girl nervously looking at the announcement, then glancing at me and shyly saying "Looks like we're in the same class. Yoroshiku ne." *blushes and scurries off*

Nope, didn't happen.

Dzaid and I were placed in a class lower than our expectations. We are now studying grammar and vocabulary that we learnt years ago. :S Luckily, the sensei assured that it was because of our Kanji, and if we built it up, we could jump 2 or 3 classes up in the next test.



But good thing it happened though, coz there are a bunch of cute girls in the class. :9 Though all of the others are either Koreans or Chinese (as in China's Chinese!), so kinda hard to fit in, no one speaks English! Dzaid and I had no choice but to converse in Japanese with them. Well it makes for great practice after all.



Every other day, I would go to a cafe or stay at home and practice my Kanji like mad. Really hoping to jump a few levels up, so gotta study hard!

Ganbarima~su!
