If anyone interested with N2/N3 prep class, this info session might prove to be useful. =)
I already have 3 ppl signing up, max class size: 5 only.
If you are interested, kindly contact me for more details

Other prep classes are also available, ask me. =)

Just to add, a member commented the below on my prep class

"i liked that the proposed lessons were planned in advance so we can also plan our schedule in the future and the group was small so it was informal yet cosy. thanks for the handouts, for marking our test papers, for the easy conversation, and of course, for the info sharing! "

Can anyone explain to me this paragraph? I'm kinda lost

忙しくて忙しくて、誰でもいいから一人でも多くの人に手伝ってもらいたい。そんなとき、日本語では「猫の手も借りたいほどだ」とたとえて言います。たとえ猫が手伝ったくれてもそれほど役に立つとは思えませんか、何か口に出して言いたいと思って、こい言うのです。

I roughly translated 「忙しくて忙しくて、誰でもいいから一人でも多くの人に手伝ってもらいたい」 to "So busy! Getting help from anyone, just 1 person or more would be good!"

「そんなとき、日本語では「猫の手も借りたいほどだ」とたとえて言います」 - Not too sure about this but roughly that's a saying in japanese that goes like it?

「たとえ猫が手伝ったくれてもそれほど役に立つとは思えませんか、何か口に出して言いたいと思って、こい言うのです」 - Totally lost

忙しくて忙しくて、誰でもいいから一人でも多くの人に手伝ってもらいたい - I'm so busy, it would be good if one or more people could help me and anyone would do.

「そんなとき、日本語では「猫の手も借りたいほどだ」とたとえて言います - During such a situation, there is a Japanese saying that goes "to the extend of borrowing a cat's paw".

「たとえ猫が手伝ったくれてもそれほど役に立つとは思えませんか、何か口に出して言いたいと思って、こい言うのです」 - Even though a cat's help might not be very much help at all, the Japanese coined this saying because they wanted to have something to say( during such busy situations)

Hiromi Sensei @ JCS is great!

My B class is Hiromi-sensei. Conversation course is Morimoto-sensei.

Hi everyone

If you intend to take up any Jap course I will recommend JCS.

Affordable prices and great teachers.

Discipline and structured way of learning Jap.

U will enjoy even more if u r taught by Hiromi Sensei

Dedicated teacher, lotsa exercises and practices.
Fun and intelligent type.

Time passes very fast in her class.

Of course also have to mention, she is a sweet-looking young lady in her twenties or early 30's (We are not sure of her age because she never reveals - age is always a secret)

HIROMI 万歳.

Just curious

Chua Sensei?
I realised there is only one male sensei at JCS and he has spikey hairstyle.
Looks more like a student than a sensei

 

[bonkers85]
