日本語の勉強「My Japanese study」

Today I talked with my Japanese teacher at the university about my Japanese level. I think she noticed an exponential growth in my Japanese knowledge the last two weeks. Her idea is just to finish the JA100 class this first semester and to do JA200 on my own as self-study in the mean time and during the spring break. After that I’m probably good enough to skip the JA200 class to go to the JA300 class immediately. The highest class in OUSSEP is the JA500 class, so this is pretty cool.
I’m actually thinking to work as hard as possible and skip both the JA200 and JA300 class to go to JA400 class, but I will probably ask to much of myself then.
The name of the Japanese girl I was talking about last week is Mami. Without mami-san my Japanese skills wouldn’t grow that fast and no doubt I wouldn’t be as motived as I’m now. 日本語の会話はどうもありがとうございました!麻美さまはオランダ語の勉強しますけど。(I hope I didn’t make any mistake ;)).

I also went to the Suita City Hall to get my Alien Registration Card, which is basically the same as an ordinary ID-card in The Netherlands. This way I don’t have to carry around my passport all the time, really handy.

One of the sensei’s at 阪大 uploaded some pictures to the OUSSEP site. Mine are better though! ;) Here’s the link.
