School : First day!

Few days ago, i posted a comment that I had expected to be in Class B and not A. Today was the first school day. Well, guess what...it's true that the A class is the lowest level, but it is also true that all people in A class can read at least the basic alphabet. Moreover, the textbook we will be using, is the "Minna-no Nihongo", as some of you readers (Japanese Students) already are familiar with.

After inquiring, apparently, the whole Volume 1 of the Minna-no Nihongo book, will be done in about 2 months. It means, that about a year ago, i was around the end of Volume 1 as a study level, therefore, i don't mind to spend one month and half or even 2 months repeating the grammar, since this class will last for about 6 months.

In the class, 22 students, all Chinese Speakers, except: 1 From Singapore, 1 From Hong-Kong, 4 From Thailand, and Me.

The first day went fine, i just feel that having school from 9:20 to 12:30 is not a lot...i would have preferred at least 4 hours (half day) of school... well, let's see in the future when the homeworks will be more...

After School, i ate my Bento on the 9th floor and tried to catch up a little with my writing skills...i would say i'm improving, after having spent some time to practice during the weekend :)

The only thing...it seems i'm the grandpa of the Class...with my 34 years, i'm the oldest one...the second before last is the Singaporean Guy with 32...all other students are 90% between 18 and 24...
