このセメスターの日本語のクラス

このセメスターの日本語のクラスはどうでしたか。
This semester's Japanese class was great. Although this class was a bit difficult at times, I'm glad I stayed in it. Learning the basics of Japanese was very beneficial for me. By reviewing basic Japanese grammar, I believe I've made my 'foundation' in Japanese a lot stronger. I initially thought that JAPN 101 would basically be a review class for me, but I've actually learned a lot this semester. Overall, the 10 o'clock section was a lot of fun-there were a lot of entertaining skits and kaiwa sessions.

スピーチプロジェクトはどうでしたか。
The speech project was very beneficial. When practicing my speech: I was able to focus more on pronunciation and fluency. I'm also glad that we were allowed to use a few new words: it let me elaborate more on my topic. Peer reading/editing was also very helpful. Peer reading/ editing forced me to focus on sentence structure, vocab, and overall flow. and encouraged me to further challenge myself and my peers.

I agree with you on most of that. I thought it would be review as well. However, I learned a great deal and enjoyed the class very much. Although it was difficult, it was a good experience and one that I will be happy to continue next semester and another year after that. It's too bad you won't be taking it anymore (I think you're not right?) But it was good that you could try it for a semester and have as much fun with it as you did. Good luck on your final!

Japanese class was definitely difficult but fun. I kind of wish I had more previous experience learning the language so that I would have had it a little easier. The speech project at the end was beneficial since it allowed us to learn in a completely different manner. I just wish I was better at speaking in front of others.

Anyways, have a good break!
