Basic Japanese - Week 1 - Wednesday Sept 5th 3rd period
“Hello everyone,” Yondaime smiled from the front of the class. “Welcome to Beginning Japanese. We’ve got a lot to cover in the fifteen weeks that we have together so I apologize for jumping right into it.” He paused to hand out a large packet to everyone, moving with lightening speed through the room before continuing.
“We’re going to be doing introductions, but they’re going to be in Japanese,” he smiled and flashed back and forth from the back of the room to the front as he spoke. “In your packets are common greetings, words, numbers, phrases you’re going to hear me say a lot and the chart of hiragana which are the basic Japanese alphabet. I don’t expect you all to know these by heart for the next class, the packets that I’m giving out can be used as notes on the final with the exception of the hiragana chart.”
“First of all, there are a few ways you can address me. Just sensei is the most common way, since I’m the only teacher in the class room, but if you wanted to be more specific you could call me Yondaime-sensei or even Uzumaki-sensei. Calling me by my first name or even my last name with no suffixes added onto it is considered the height of rudeness and if we were in Japan or even back in my home you’d get detention for it,” He smirked and paused by the desk. “But not here. So greetings and introducing yourself! Since this class is before noon, when you all come in I would greet you with ‘Ohaiyo gozaimasu’ which of course means ‘Good Morning’ and I would hope that you each would respond back with the same.” Yondaime went to the chalkboard and wrote out the word in normal alphabet and hiragana. “Today, I’m going to break you up into pairs so you can work on introducing yourselves to each other, then we’re going to go over asking what something is in Japanese and then just a brief run through of numbers since they’re really simple.” Yeah, except to him all of this was really simple.
Riiiiiight.
