Nihongo

Watashiwa Esther desu. Doozoyoroshiku.

Signed up for a simple conversation course in Japanese and attended it with my sister.

It lasted for 4 weeks and I must say there's much laughter and fun during lesson time.

The most memorable lesson would have to be the one in which we learnt about food and taste. The teacher showed us different pictures of food and taught us how to order food in Japanese. Then there was a special tasting session in which we were given a plate filled with different items. These items include dango (glutinuous riceball covered with redbean paste), kimchi, wasabi, nato(feremented soyabean) and this sour plum. We had to taste the items and then say out how it tasted. Then the real fun came when one of us had to sit in the middle of the class, closed our eyes to taste what we were given to eat and to guess what it was and then said out how it tasted.

One particular classmate got kimchi mixed with wasabi so she said it was super karai (meaning hot and pungent), as she gave a tortured facial expression :P

Japanese is fun!
