watashi no namae wa edorikku desu...

Once again, I have not been spending enough time on this blog and other similar sites. Facebook have now become my main means of keeping in touch with friends and for posting regular updates. But I am still rather reluctant to let go of this blog, for it has a good several years of my life in it, and it doesn't matter if anyone's reading it or not, it was still a big part of my life then...

I shall go with the flow and see how it goes... but please first accept my apologies if I have been very late in responding to your comments...

In the meantime, I finally have something worth blogging about...

Several weeks ago, my ex-classmate from secondary school roped me in to sign up for an elementary level Japanese course at Bunka Language School...

And today, well technically yesterday, was the first lesson!

The last time I'd learned Japanese was during my teens, and although I was pretty good at it while it lasted, I had given back all that stuff years ago. But it's all coming back to me now!

The class was taught by Takahashi Sensei, and there were 14 students altogether...

Out of this, only my friend, Chia Zyn, and myself, were guys. Aren't other guys interested in learning languages? What happened?

Anyway, the course was rather fast paced, as could be expected from this new system that's been touted as one of the fastest way to learn the language, and we were given many exercises and homework to do, covering conversations, writing and reading...

I love learning new languages, and I hope by the time I visit Japan again next year, I would be fluent and conversant enough to venture on my own without the help of any English! :-)

Last but not least, of course, here are the photos of my class: Bunka
