yeah.. that day because of the national day rally i missed my shomuni episode.. >_< they totally forget about STUDENTS watching the drama.. anyone knows where i can get it..? :grumble: :sweat:

Maine wrote:Actually the first few episodes are just only introducing the characters so not much of action yet. But is a good show nevertheless. Since I took japanese studies as one of my modules in my first year at the uni, its quite interesting to watch what I have learned about the history of Japan. Oh and the stars looked fabulous even in japanese costumes!!!

Oh Maine~ u took js1101e in ur first yr? me too lol...and am majoring in it lol ^_^

are you from NUS? anyone taking japanese lang? sure miss the tutors there! just started on shinsengumi...sure wish i have the full set already...

ya im from NUS. i took js1101e as a cross fac module. its alot of history stuff but very interesting module. heard tt the jap lang is hard.... so not taking it in NUS. took it before outside school. It was awesome, i even learn how to write hirigana..

yes!! my favourite actress- suzuki anne is in the show..! she rocks.. going to force my friends to watch.. :hehe:

the returner is pretty cool~ didn't manage to catch the previous movies! how was princess blade and onmyouji?

Maine, the jpn lang in NUS consists of 7 hours(still?), and you'll learn lots...at least you'll definitely be able to speak and write. and the classes i had are all very interesting, though Walker sensei can be quite demanding when i first had her... :sweat:

was in her tutorials when she first started...those days were terror! had a hard time trying to keep up with her... :sweat: but after grad, she's the one i've been keeping in touch with. :mrgreen:

dr fujimura? was that basic 2 or intermediate 1? think i took the one where they co-lectured too, but that was a year or 2 ago. when did you take the module?

Hi wai and maine, yups, i'm currently in nus, taking japanese lang and japanese studies modules.
My lecturer used to be Walker sensei for basic 1 and 2, but now it's different, Xia Qian sensei.

Yup, it's still 7 hours..heard they cut it from 8...but i still find 7 a bit not enough in order to attain true proficiency...nooo!! don hit me!!! lol...

I was in Japan for a few weeks for some japanese lang course, and all i can say that the classes there are abt 5 to 10 times more demanding than nus lol...i went home everyday in cold sweat... ^^ ;


So which year are you all in? which fac? or when did you graduate?
Nice meeting you all! xD

hi wai, gnohz and himitsu!! Well, I didnt take the jap lang course in nus but i took it at some lang centre. it was quite good cause the teacher was very patient. I'm currently doing bahasa indonesia course in nus and I find it hard as well. Cannot really catch up but I'm trying. Well, I'm only in second year of sch of design and environment so still have a few years to go!! :<!!

Ok to digress a bit. well if u all want to take jap lang course outside. U all can take it from cambridge lang centre in jurong east. their teachers are quite good and u get a certificate on completion. so i thought it was cool to have certificate for completing!!! Glad to know there r pple studying in nus who likes jap shows 2!!!! And in year 2!!

Yay to year 2!! But it's stressing!!! I'm already going crazy over sch work!!! _ _;;

If given the time i think i wil be watching Japanese shows all day long, variety shows (mecha mecha iketeru, gakkou e ikou, hey hey hey etc) and j dramas....reason is for entertainment and learn the lang! <33

yup, yup... i absolutely agree with gnohz abt just doing nothing and watching jap shows the entire day. Then i can drool over the good-looking cast!

Hi! Did anyone know what jap movie Channel 8 was showing on Thurs
(9/9) ? Thought some of the cast looked quite good but the plot was ahem.... BAD!
