日本語の勉強はどう？
moshi:
our teacher was telling us about vending machines in japan, and he said that a lot of them, while convenient, were able to ruin your reputation if you bought from them, e.g. those selling cigarettes and other taboo items. for example, if a student bought a packet, likely someone would see, tell their family, ring up the school, have it on their permanent record - effectively ruining their chances of getting into a decent uni. all over a packet of cigarettes!
in regards to kaiwa, we have weekly practices, but they're really only for our detailed study now - kaiwa was last year, though i could do with more practice, since i'm not very good at spontaneous discussion. we also do this thing where we stand up in front of the class and have the the other students ask us questions, while we get filmed and critiqued to see where we're going wrong.

Just curious are the top students in your class Native Jap/half Jap/have lived in Japan for a year? We had a 50 two years ago but he was native Jap. Last year we could only get a top of 43.
I have "in theory" lunchtime speaking practice classes 2 times a week but yeah...if noone turns up..=\ I haven't done any practice for Detailed study yet =="

For some reason my detailed study draft was due in the first few weeks of term 1 (we were meant to do it on the holidays for some reason...?) But then after that...No mention of it. I still haven't got that draft back...
IntoTheNewWorld:
...You have motivated me to start memorizing. I see what it takes to get high now...=/ And if I fail, scaling will save me =]
moshi:
hop to it! you have the potential to do really well - so you, failing? pfft. unless your definition of failing is a 35... lol. if i manage to get over 35, i'll be quite happy (:
