Once again a long time between updates, but really most of my time is spent on studies and I can image not too many of you would find that interesting. But now I'm back and have started my second semester, and it's tough! A lot of the things we learn right now are quite similar with some small changes in the grammar, so it's really tricky to remember when you should use what form. Also I need to improve my vocabulary, badly >< In the break between the sem...

I'm so sorry I haven't been updating my blog in such a long time, but school and life in general has been taking up way too much time and blog writing has been the last thing on my mind to be honest, but now comes a long update! The last time I wrote it was just before Golden Week which is a week with lots of holidays which= no school for a week! So me and my boyfriend took a last minute trip to Kyoto. I had found a really cheap place to stay and we took the nig...

And so I'm on my third week of school and it still feels good, sure it's getting tuffer day by day but so far I can handle the pressure.

I have also applied for my alien registration card a...

And so a my first week of school is over and it feels good! I think this level of teaching is just right for me, sometimes it's a bit easy, like with hiragana that I already know well how to write, but everything else is just good repetition. My class is a bunch of nice people and it's also quite small which I totally prefer over a big group, this feels very friendly and comfortable because we are so few it's easier to get to know people. They don't teach us gr...

So today was my first day of school at Yoshida institute in Takadanobaba. I wouldn't say I was nervous but it kinda felt like that first day of school way back when you were a child. Anyhow everything went well, this day was just an introduction-day and I didn't have to do a placement test since I'm at beginners level. The school seem to be absolutely OK and the teachers seem nice so I hope I will get off on a good start on monday. But I do hope the classrooms wo...
