Hi again!
So whoa, first day of school was...
I get there on time and I see this weirdo white guy walking around aimlessly, so of course, he was ignored. I go into the class to see absolutely nobody so I peer around suspiciously until the Japanese teacher comes and says "Konbanwa" and I was like o_O... oh yeah! "Konbanwa o_o!" As I sat down to this out this silly info sheet, more people start walking in. The next thing you know you see the weirdo white guy talk ffiewaojf japanese outside the classroom with the teacher and then walks in soon after. Hm! Then some asian around my age comes in and I was like wooohoo, I'm not alone! O_O! After filling out my sheet, I look around at the people who just entered and then I was offered a Japanese-themed magazine in English by the teacher. Then the weirdo white guy starts flafejwif-ing with the teacher, and he sounded like he knew his stuff! And I was like totally reminded of the other cool but extremely nerdy caccasian guy from my Japanese class in Langara because of his typical foreign accent. Anyway, soon enough, the teacherS (another came in soon after) started interviewing us. One teacher started with the asian girl and when I overheard, I realized she's not at my level (d'oh!). Then went to me, I did a crapped up job and then moved on to another girl who was also not at my level. Mmm, I started to get a little worried then, even though I didn't know how the other side of the room was doing. But, wait! The teacher didn't interview the weird white guy that sat not so very far from me! I almost forgot about him! Then I was like 'aaah, there's at least SOMEONE around my level' (since the extremely nerdy caccasian from Langara was really GOOD at Japanese.. so assumed... but ohoho~) Moving on... the two Japanese teachers went back to the teacher desk and whispered their terrorist attack plans with each other (or I mean, so it seemed like they were... :b)
After a long wait, they called out names and splitted us into two classes. My class was made of the white guy, and these two other caucassian guys. We took the front row seats and it just so happens I sat beside the weird white guy. Apparently, everyone spoke nothing but Japanese to each other... the first topic started with the two white guys and the teacher about a concert. The sentences were horribly simplified for some reason and when she started writing terms they didn't know on the board, she wrote in kana and I was like O_O W-Where's the kanji? So I started freaking out! I looked to the weird white guy to my right and noticed he was writing in only kana too! It felt seriously wrong from that point on.
Soon it was jiko-shoukai time. I let the dansei start first. Plain sentences bakari. Then I realized all these guys were taking Japanese because they were all MARRIED TO A JAPANESE WOMAN. Whoa, why is that so common. *shakes head* *is haunted by stinky tofu yearbook teacher -- shivers* Someone should enlighten me with the answer to this matter.
Then we played the guess-the-association-with-this-number game. Was pointless but I guess it was played to warm us up. I wanted it end FAST, so when it came to my turn I wrote "20/20" and then everyone got it in a second. When that was finally over, we had tape listening where we had to fill in the blanks and etc. It was easy and amusing... especially when they repeated the key events at least 3 times: "It begins to float!" "Look it's floating!" "Whoa, you're right it's floating!"... dude, you'd at least get it the first time, or easier the second time but apparently it was a bit too hard for them :X.. so the tape was repeated again and again. Ok, after that was over, we went on to intransitive and transitive. Her way of teaching was kinda bad... honestly, I didn't understand what she was trying to teach. I'm glad I already learnt that [the better way] in high school.. o_O (ばんざい
