Big news today: there is another individual starting the acceleration program (the one I am currently doing) next week. This individual is pitched at a higher level than our intro class, so he will be starting at lesson 20, in a separate "intake," if you will.
My classmate (who has always seemed to me to be way more advanced compared to the level of our current class) has been given the option of crossing over to join this other student's class.
The sensei insist that she still write a test of some kind, and she is cramming extra lessons at home this week to prepare for it, but this definitely makes sense to me. She will be challenged in that other class, where I think she's just spinning her wheels in our current one.
At this point, she's up for it, so if she passes the test that means... I will be the only one in my class! Yes, I will have a one-on-one teacher to pupil ratio starting next week, if all goes ahead as planned. I sure can't complain about that... very much a once in a lifetime opportunity for the price I'm paying. Now if only I can cram crazy amounts of practice and homework into my brain to keep pace with this opportunity!
Well that is cool. It's certainly going to awesome having a one on one class.
ReplyDeleteSo I did what you asked and found my name:
JEIKOBU
ジェイコブ
This is obviously in kanji characters because names aren't found in the Japanese dictionary and so kanji characters are used when spelling names and not katakana.
And no I didn't use Google.....well maybe a little....or a lot....or completely.
Dude, that IS katakana. I may not know much kanji yet, but that is definitely not it.
ReplyDeleteAnyways nice work even if you did use Google, Jeikobu-kun!!!
