Personal Narrative
True to the course description, in this class I learned how to use much more advanced Japanese vocabulary and grammar that could potentially be put to use in a professional environment. Not only did the course challenge my capacity to learn, remember, and re-iterate this new information quickly, it also challenged me to use it. One particular project we completed in the course was to write a script using Honorific and Humble forms of Japanese (that which are used in the workplace, for instance) and then create a short movie using that script. The photos above, used in the heading, are captured images from that very movie.
On top of that, I learned very difficult Kanji that was far out-side of my comfort zone; I took this class as an underclassmen, so the material was considered advanced for me. It has benefitted me greatly to have taken this class because I continue to use words and phrases from those lessons in life today when communicating with my Japanese teachers, and other Japanese professionals.
