missingno15 has said plenty of times that he was going to leave, but they all come craaaaawling back to Estelle! Uh, I mean “TextFugu Forum” ;)
Yeah, my thoughts are that she is not very good at taking advice. Tried to help her with particles she said she needed to learn for a test over the weekend (using hiragana and spaces), but she just completely ignored it all and said “But I haven’t learned ANY katakana yet!!!” (I’d used 2 small words which could have been guessed from context/the translation). Didn’t even say “thanks for your help anyway :)”. It’s sad to see, but she doesn’t strike me as the type to stick with Japanese till the bitter end. She said her teacher made them all learn ha/ga/mo/to/wo/de/etc. by themselves over one weekend, which I thought was a bit odd… Sounds a terrible course in my opinion.
missing’s post has hit the nail on the head I think. Though I’d use the word “blunt” rather than “straightforward” haha ;) Telling it like it is is the best course of action sometimes, and this is one of those times I think.
