A busy Week...

The past week at school (in the picture) was a busy one. Besides the normal learning, i'm trying to improve my Kanji reading skills which take quite some time. The daily study time is somehow between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the day. After long study my brain is crying out for relax ;)... in any case, it looks like that after sometime, there is no room for more information, even trying to push it wildly in ...

After a couple of weeks i can now tell you more about how classes are organized.

There are two teachers very good, one on Monday, and the other on Tuesday and Thursday. Teachers of Wednesday and Friday I think they are kind of new Hires, so i guess it will takes some time for them to get to a higher level.

The first two teachers have a really good organized lesson. Everything scheduled and a lot of ideas on how to help people memorize things.

For instance: this week we learned about verbs like "Lend" and "Borrow". Suddenly the teacher takes out of the pocket a small Ball and throws it to a student, and says "I'm Lending it to you"..the student had to reply "I'm borrowing it". It might look silly, but since the two verbs are similar in japanese, i often confused them.

Teacher, as said, change daily. It is good, so you don't eventually get stuck with the same for 6 months if you don't like him/her.

On Tuesday, i was studying on the 9th floor when the Leader instructor approached me and said she planned to move me to the "B" Class starting next month. She was really surprised i refused. I told her that is good for me to review the whole grammar to check the points i forgot or missed the first time. Besides, our class is much more fun ;)
