Advanced Language Class:
Today in class we did something different from usual -- we wrote songs that will be shown to the beginner students that could help them learn about Japanese conjugations. My partner and I wrote ours to the tune of Old McDonald Had a Farm; we also had to record it which was hard because we couldn’t stop laughing. Overall it was a really fun and unique class, and I hope we have similar classes in the future!

Advanced Topic Class:
Topic classes have changed today; advanced/intermediate were put in Otani Sensei’s class, whereas the beginners were put in the Nemastil Sensei’s class. The advanced/intermediate were given a lesson on Japanese fortune, which included the omikuji. We wrote fortunes for one another and were given one randomly. After that activity, we had a review lesson on te-form and ended the class with instructional video on how to create the taiko drum. Five star, I highly recommend.

Beginner Language/Topic Class:
More vocabulary for the newbies today. We learned the words of various vehicles like cars and buses, and the past, present, and future tenses. Also, since Tanabata is over, Nemastil-sensei is teaching the beginner’s topic class from now on. She taught us how to ask and tell birthdays, seasons and how to tell the weather (and let me tell you, it is atsui here at the Academy). The culture classes danced, and learned about the military in Japan.
We also had a chance to cook some curry for dinner! We had a curry Iron-Chef competition with secret ingredients like chocolate and taco bell sauce. The winner was the Undokai Company with the secret ingredient of "Rayu", or Japanese Worcestershire-like sauce.
