More than a week without news from your favorite Yamasa Blog. Well classes are as boring as ever. In the sense that they are not enjoyable, not that they are easy. It depends greatly how I am used to the teaching style. Teacher I have previously interacted with have no trouble understanding that I need time to answer questions. The new approach study is as expected going faster and containing more vocabulary. However we are not madly tested on those. We will see how well I get used to the style of our 2 new teachers.
News about the school
They moved the bicycle parking lot and the place is starting to look like an actual school. I just wish they would not put so much strain on the teachers. 4 “tannin” left last month. Used to be the best teachers. They really should increase their salary instead of lowering it. If some of you are reading this blog for the first time and have read the Yamasa review from David Chart, I would consider it, outdated. The student body has almost doubled since that was written. I might be seen as a black sheep, but I refuse to say yes to everything. Ever since that accident with the student service, I am very critique of the marketing done at Yamasa’s website. It’s not a bad school; it’s in fact a very great place. But I don’t understand their priorities at all.
A very good point
At last something have been done in the matter of the gap between elementary classes and intermediate. In the future students won’t have to start again the same class. As an option, you can have review of the grammar from lesson 40 and up of Mina no Nihongo.
