Bunka is quite screwed with their Pre-Advanced class openings. I've ended Intermediate-4 for more than a month, and there's still no classes available.
*(EDIT on 14 April, Monday: I've got a PA class already!)
So 5 of us decided to temporarily attend classes at another school, Pyaess. So yesterday was the first.
Being a 1st lesson, there's always the boring self-introduction, and so one-by-one, we'd be introducing ourselves in Japanese, no less.
Then there's this woman in the class, married to a Japanese, and she's SO proficient and fluent in the language, that she certainly doesn't deserve to be here.
So her self-intro was like this:
------------------
Woman: Watashi-wa, XX desu. dscnui fwehfrweuiogf ufwehfuiweghgrac yurgtwegfr! fhwue irwe ri werywety w! hriwer, wihwetrt? wehruiwerh~
Teacher: wrioweur! reutret, ritwtywp, woewturt werowiuwer?
Woman: poere, proeprowewwe. wperiwtjefdf webfwewe wrhwzdasifuy, uihaser. weriowebvt! Haha, uweirwerweiu! ijtrtyer.
Teacher: xlamrt, eifneuwtwtr, isdfhuigfwtrwer. uwhhfuwrhqwee?
Woman: fweirjwejiojda? o, iojwerh! newhruiwe3nsndufi.u oihwerew!
.......................
(this continues for a grand 5 minutes)
.........................
.......................
Woman: Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!
-------------------
Yes, they rattled off and I couldn't catch a thing even when I'm sitting right in front. It really made me so stressed and helpless. A lot of us agreed that the woman shouldn't have joined that level and spoil the market.
---------------------
Anyway, the teachers speak fast with minimal English. For people like me who placed heavy reliance on teachers' English explanations, this would have been a tough turning point. I would have to pick out a few words in the sentences to try to guess the meanings.
And guess what. A few times when the teacher said something and a few people laughed, I had to resort to laughing with them, to hide my ignorance and stupidity.
This would have to stop!
For once I'm GOING to revise my lessons! No more chucking the books and notes one side to collect dust and rear spiders!
