i'm not really a ikoma promoter lah........
i was from JCS and then transferred over to ikoma. seriously, ikoma would be much better. classes are smaller and you do get to engage in conversations.
=.=

to a large extent, i agreed too...

IKOMA will be better to train your conversation aspect of the Japanese Language :D

i would recommend ikoma too...lolz...
Small class size and the chance to participate as much as possible is very important.
Ikoma's teachers are very nice and friendly also.
Moreover,the lessons are balanced as to what language teaching should be.

It depends on the room.
My class that time finds windowed room warmer.
The air con is central controlled by shaw house so they cant do much.
Maybe you can talk to the sensei,my sensei always opt for windowed room whenever possible last time.:s12::s12:

They are individually controlled, can even request to switch them on...

There appears to be a phenomena going about JCS [ not too great ? ], seems that those that left JCS and went to other schools will describe other schools as better. Anyone here from JCS then went to other schools other than IKOMA ? Maybe some of you like to confirm this observation...

azumangadaioh, 質問をさせていただきます. Forms ( 「て-形」とか 「ない-形」), どうやって勉強しますか。

困っていますか

Am I in trouble or is it troublesome to ask me ? If you are asking the 2nd one then perhaps 困らせますか would be a better choice...

For the benefit of those just starting to learn Japanese, the question quoted was asking *how to study te form and nai form*... which I think dimitri_can should have no problem doing since you are going to take level2 this year bah..

Those who finishes Bunka Elementary 1 will have learnt how to make these 2 forms using dictionary form of verbs [ exclude nouns, i adjectives and na adjectives ]...

Don't have to use humble form also bah, I only learnt them today... 下手です [ heta desu ]

Anyone here is free to correct me if I am wrong..

haha... it's the 1st one...

Why do you have to use bold for my name? -__-"

Am taking my level 1 this year. I am asking you whether you encounter problems studying the forms when you were at Bunka.

btw, [is it troublesome to ask me] is not = 「 困らせますか」

Also, i wish to let everybody know that each and every individual has their choice where to study. It's not very good for us to "psycho" a person to go to a school to study and then in the end, if the person don't like the school, he/she comes blame us for it.

Hi, I hope someone can help me see if my summary is correct as I'm kinda confused. Thanks in advance!

What is the literal translation compared to actual meaning?
What's the degree of certainty/uncertainty?


  1. あめがふるようです。It seems like rain./It seems that it will rain./It appears to be raining. (based on info seen, heard, read)
  2. あめがふりそうです。It looks like rain./It looks like it will rain. (based on own observation)
  3. あめがふるそうです。I hear that it'll rain./I heard that it will rain. (based on info seen, heard, read-source may be unreliable)
  4. あめがふるらしいです。I hear that it'll rain./I heard that it will rain. (based on info seen, heard, read-source is deemed reliable by speaker)

Not referring to you... LOL...
lol... I see that now.

i'm not really a ikoma promoter lah......
lol... not referring to you. =)

Apologies. Apparently I managed to confuse myself and someone else when I delurked. Lol. I failz at this forum thing. ><"
