皆さん、こんにちわ。
Last Friday, the rest of the class and I met とくます先生 for the first time. Personally, I find it very cool that we get to have a number of teachers and have multiple 先生s to get input from. よろしくお願いしますとくます先生!
During class we reviewed expressions from the first class and also learned how to express what year we are. たとえば:
初めまして。キムです。プリンストン大学の二年せえです。でも日本語の一年せえです。
However, during the 会話(kaiwa) portion, one frustration that arose was I knew how to say what year I was but did not know how to ask what year the other person is. Well, apparently the latter goes something like the following:
あなたは何年生ですか.
[あなたは for directing the question at the other person]
[何 (なに) being a rough "what"?]
[ですか being the modifier for questioning]
On a less academic note, I re-watched over the weekend a movie my family and I enjoyed this summer called 海街diary. I think Director Koreeda's film captures well the sentimental and tranquil quality that I really enjoy about Japanese films. Would highly recommend. Hopefully I can write some simple reviews thoughts about movies I watched in the future):
読んでくれてありがとう。
じゃあ、またね!
