Japanese class
I went to Japanese class today for the second time. Yesterday was my first day where it was Japanese conversation class. Today it was writing class. Anyway, I sat next to this Chinese girl in the back row and I was trying to explain to her things that the teacher was talking about, like the recent news and such. But anyways, I got scolded for talking and was asked to move seats. Then later when the teacher later came around she said something to me, and I responded. Well, the normal thing to do in Japanese is say “un” which is like “yeah, I’m listening.” So, I said “un”, but in formal settings you’re suppose to say “hai” meaning “yes” instead of just making a grunting noise. So I got scolded for that too. Then next time she said something to me I said “hai, hai” or “yes, yes” like I’m really listening. But then she said say “yes” only once. Class was really quite strict, but I learned a lot.
