college language courses DO have their merit tho!!! it may be tough but try to stick it out
there’s no way to prove in an application that you have experience w/ a language other than minor/major (major is hardly ever necessary tho)
there’s a difference between getting a degree in something and learning it, but the point of the degree is that it substantiates your claim to knowing it.. when people are looking to hire someone who speaks a language it’s a lot easier if they can see you have some sort of credentials in ithello! also, welcome!
perhaps it is not the (my) place to say this, but perhaps you meant こんにちは instead of こんえちわ？maybe i am wrong and you were meaning to say something else! anyway, pronunciation is a little tough, and writing what you hear is a little bit tricky!
anyway, welcome again! it is good to learn another language.
hahaha yeah she’s DEFINITELY different. it’s great. i’m reaaaalllllly happy that this isn’t going to be a boring class =^.^=
WASWWAWWW she’s so cute guys ;-;
we were going over katakana today, cos we did hiragana yesterday (it’s 101) and she was like, i like mu. it looks like an old man nose. and then she started drawing a face around it.
but also she made me realize that to more easily differentiate between shi & tsu, and so & n, if you think about the hiragana, shi’s curve moves up and tsu’s moves down, and the sameish thing with so & n.Chigun, i agree! i had my first class today and all of it i already knew (besides like the names for specific subjects). I think it will help a whoooole bunch that i’ve already self-studied for awhile.
Tsetycoon, thank you! i do feel lucky that i have this opportunity =^.^=
Sheepy, yeah hahaha… the worst thing is not being able to practice it like, for real. so i’m happy that i can talk with a native (but it so happens that the only native Japanese speaker in the class is Katagiri-sensei herself, but it is still worlds better than totally alone)
BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PEOPLE how does one socialize ;-;
also i’m kind of worried it will all eventually (soon) like be waaay above my brainpower, cos it’s pretty much a ~10 week course condensed into 3 weeksokay so i tried like 80 times to make some mochi and IT NEVER WORKED HURRRRGH anyway i WAS gonna make ichigo daifuku and green tea mochi ice cream but i ended up just making the ice cream:
