Start of prep lessons

Yesterday just had my 1st lesson for JLPT 4 prep lesson. It's the first out of the 5 lessons. It's pretty different from the normal lessons with the teacher doing most of the talking and quick review of the various grammer structure that are frequently tested in JLPT 4.

One of my fellow classmates asked if i had taken jlpt 4 before and wondered why did i not go for jlpt 3 1st as he thought my standard was pretty ok. Well, i just quickly brushed off an answer saying that i thot i want to start from jlpt 4 onwards. hahahha...

Well, my jap studies wasn't entirely done in a smooth flow. After my 2 semesters of jap lang studying in NTU which helped to lay down my foundations, thereafter i studied at Bunka which introduced me to a few more grammer forms before i finally settle at ikoma now which adopts the teaching style similar to that of NTU's. Because of the school hopping, there was definitely some grammer forms that were missed though they are not too difficult to master or memorize cos of my regular viewing of animes and listening of jpop.

I've also come to realise the different teaching points at the 2 different language schools that i've attended. But ultimately, for language learning, it is really important to know a lot of vocab and also practice @ conversation and listening. If not, it is really difficult to move on to higher levels or even to become proficient at the language.

Anyway, think i might have caught a bit of the cold or something like that. The nose had been rather runny since saturday morning and the throat getting sore and stuff like that. Wonder if i can get any mc out of that.... hahhha... haven't been utilising my mc ne. hahhahah
