Hello all. I am Ang Wen Yang and this is my 3rd post.

Everyone knows of 3rd language. Well, the 3rd language I have is Japanese. はじめますて！

I have some others from my class who are also taking Japanese. Most Hwa Chongians go to the Language centre in Ghim Moh to take Japanese lessons. My class is J1.37. Most of the students there are Hwa Chongians, with a few others from Nanyang and Raffles Girls.

Our せんせい teaches us Japanese. She is very kind and can tolerate some noise. Sometimes, when it gets too noisy, she will slam the duster on the whiteboard so hard that the whole class becomes extraordinarily quiet. She gives us a やすみ for じゅうごふん(15mins) in the middle of the lesson. During that time, everyone dashes to the canteen to get drinks, go to the toilet etc. If they ever come back late, they will have to apologize to the teacher(おそくなて、すみません) and sit in a kneeling position on the chair for the next 15 mins again!

Although Japanese is tiring to learn and pick up, I enjoy it!
