Graduation
March 06, 2009
Vincent, Kim, and I
I think I’ll plug my Japanese school: Shin-Osaka Foreign Language Institute. They have a new website up now and it’s much better than when I first visited. I’m translating the site into English so I’ll be able to leave another mark at the school, alongside with this photo of me and a couple of friends on the website.
I studied Japanese a full year there and started in the Intermediate Class #2 and finished in the Advanced Class #3. Through the school I met some great people and became friends with a few of them. My main teacher is one of the best educators I have ever met. Considering I trained hundreds of people to teach for so long, I really do mean it when I say she is wonderful.
Through the school I was able to pass the JLPT 2-kyuu easily. I think I may have had a chance to pass 1-kyuu but I was just not confident enough. Instead, I decided to just get 2-kyuu out of the way to have something to show for. I’ll be taking 1-kyuu this year and I hope I’ll be as confident as last year.
All my classmates are graduating and going onto other pursuits next week. I’ll be attending the graduation ceremony and I consider it my graduation in spirit. I would love to study there again in the future but everyone will have been gone by then so it will probably not be as fun as the first time.
