learning japanese was a nice change from all of the romance languages. it's challenging, since when i took french and spanish in high school i totally trounced them. but i didn't like french all that much. too many wierd sounds that i didn't really grasp. i liked spanish because it was straight-forward.
by the way, i have the kodou pv now. (i think if anyone wanted it and was on my other aim buddylist, he or she could get it straight from my computer. i didn't set it up, though, so i'm not sure. whee )

I do well in French class. I always have A's. Originally, I wanted to take Spanish, but our Spanish program is just grueling and the French teacher is just the most wonderful woman in all the world, so I have more fun in French.

allegedly the spanish teacher at my school was an uber-b***h but she was a nice old lady. and my french teacher was awesome, because she let me slack off since it was my senior year and it was french one. no repercussions for having to leave class to deal with senior-ing junk; it was nice.

My French teacher is a former drumer from a heavy metal band.
He's awesome.
xd
French is very easy for me. I get A's in all of my classes, but I get A's in French without even trying! When I went to France, I could understand what everyone said, but I'm a bit awkward when speaking it. I just don't talk too much in general though, so that could be it. (That must be hard to believe - I always ramble on the internet! sweatdrop )
The Japanese class I'm taking is at the local community college and we don't have tests or grades or anything like that. We just learn the language. I think I'm doing pretty well in there too. I have a very good memory. (Well, only in academic things - when it comes to remembering where I put my new shirt, I'm lost.)

there were only twp japanese classes at my college. and i took them both. i got an a in the first one, and a b in the second. i was kind of slacking off because i was trying to work and do home-y things and going to class. xp
i have a good memory for school-type things, and somehow can uncannily remember where things are. usually it's always things of my husband's that i have to remember. but he's gotten me stumped with losing his set of car and house keys. they've been gone for three weeks, and i know they're at someone else's house, but whose? whee

Since my friend and I took French one in middle school, we're fully plotting to take French one our senior year as there is no AP course. It's going to be perfectly wonderful. I can't wait to scare all the freshies. :3

French is truning out to be fairly easy for me too. Especially after study Japanese for so long, a latin-based language is soooo much easier. At least in French they use letters similar to ours, thousands of 20 stroek characters are just rediculous. But I can listen to some french and sort of understand what is being said, and Ive only been working on it for a few days. That's alot better than my Japanese which I've been working on for about 3 years (on and off), and still can't understand more than a few words in a whole conversation or song >I

being a senior in a generally freshman class was awesome.
latin-based languages are easy. and fun, since the roman alphabet is there to help.
i'm better at reading things and getting the gist of them than listening. that's something i need to work on. whee

Oh, I just love the freshmen. I was in Japanese 1 last year and I was only a sophmore and they still were all skittish around me. It was hilarious.

hahahaha. that's too funny. i felt so old in my japanese class, because the majority of them were young and fresh out of high school. and they also seemed pretty fangirlish (you know, not that it's bad, but i guess in the words of danny glover, "i'm too old for that s**t").
but on an awesome note about that class, after taking a year off my husband and i ran into one of the less geeky guys i had class with. he was being darth vader at the comic shop we go to. i couldn't believe anyone would remember me from there. whee
