learning japanese

[mamoo82]

speaking of pyaess. was there a couple of days back to inquire about their lessons. saw a pretty friendly and yummy teacher there. greeted me with a sayonara as i stepped out of the place.
sure hope she is not married....hahahh

does she have short hair, rather slim? if so, she's married.. if it's the long hair one, i'm not very sure..

 

[doh]

hair was till just above the shoulders. is that considered long?
anyway, she is quite petite, did not wear glasess and pretty slim. think i briefly remembered my friend saying that her name was chiaki. sure hope the one you mentioned is not her but someone else.

[doh]

she was my practise sensei when i did my elementary 2 and 3 in pyaess. she's quite okay, very funny.. somemore the girls in my class are quite close to her that's why i know some information about her..

but she only teaches elementary classes, once u go elementary 4 u wont see her..

Lol.You two first-years in SP?In that case,me too!Haha.I recommend you go for it.Takes you all the way up to JLPT 3,if I'm not wrong.I don't personally need it myself though,since I'm self-studying JLPT 2 structures now.

And that kanji dictionary is Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten for the DS.My first ever Jap dictionary(be it paper or electronic XD)and it's amazing I tell ya.

 

[doh]

the dictionary is that good huh? any recommendation for palm / windows based pdas?
i don't have a DS.

Look further back in the thread, I've already posted a link.

 

[mamoo82]

not really... i joined pyaess during elementary 4 and she was my convo teacher. now in E5, she is still my convo teacher. haha.

that's strange.. cos we were told u do lower elementary classes by Rie sensei.. anyway, had i continued, we will probably be classmates. hahah

 

[mamoo82]

is rie sensei the one with long hair and specs? if it is, then i got to say she is quite quite at teaching convo. she sort of forces us to practise saying japanese during her class. haha. but i was only there for one lesson, make-up. =.="

yes that's rie sensei. she can speak in chinese.. once u get used to her style of teaching, it'll be okay. i quite like it...

[melovemanga]

Lol.That may be true,but what if they start using complex grammatical structures???Don't tell me you can still understand them,unless there's subtitles,which most of the time just don't capture the meaning and nuances of the language.

Doing that simply means that your level of interest in Japanese is not there yet. If you're not that interested in learning the language or any more about the culture, please don't spead such disinformation.

And please don't tell folks that you know the Japanese language when all you can regurgitate are discrete words like "baka", "aho", "bakero", "aishi-teru", etc

Hi, this is Tsubasa from Japanese meetup. The one who posted the links....

I agree with what my fellow co-organizer, kehhan has said... I just recently started a Japanese class on Saturday 6.30-8.30pm. Currently at lesson 2. If you need to know more info, do contact me.

With regards to what alvinloy has said...Learning japanese from japanese drama can be a way to improve your japanese, but not to study... you shd still be studying from sources such as textbooks,etc. Hope it clarifies.

heard that she is going to quit.
