This is my first post. I am not sure what I can share at this moment, but I have decided to post whatever comes to my mind first. LOL

Since today I had my 6th lesson on the Japanese language, I shall talk about it than.

My Japanese language teacher, we call them 先生 (sensei), is a cute and adorable lady who often makes mistakes in class. For the beginner level, the 先生 often uses picture/word cards to prompt the students to read or identify the objects. She would hold up the card and teach us how to pronounce its name, only to realize she was holding up the wrong card when she saw our puzzling faces. The cute thing is she would apologize, ごめん、ごめん, with all sincerity and giggle about it afterwards.

It is a great fun to be learning at the school I am in now. It sort of reminds me of my school days, of the subjects that I liked and how I enjoyed the lessons. When it is not for competition nor important reasons, languages are actually fun to pick up. Reading, writing, forming sentences, interacting with your fellow classmates, making mistakes and being corrected by your equally lousy friends, the laughter that follows and the improvement after that, everything adds up to make that fun experience. And I like it a lot.

Hmm… I still have to think about what to share in the next post…?????
