So today I had 3 classes. Not a bad day. I was glad that I could relax and not have to be all rushed to go from place to place. And the best part is, all my classes were finished by lunch. So I had the afternoon open!
During the time I had open I took the time to study kanji. I've been trying to get through a few kanji a day, but that's been pretty hard. It sounds easy, but the next day after having studied, I just cannot remember a lot of the kanji that I should have known from the previous day! I guess it's just going to take time to sink in. But I do feel that I'm making progress little by little....which is good!
Today during lunch recess, I had the students give me a mini quiz on the kanji I had been studying. I would have them say the reading or the kanji, and I would write it on the blackboard. I guess I didn't do too badly! Considering that I'm still in the beginning stages. They had fun with it and it's a great way for me to learn the kanji! Especially since I'm working with the native speakers and users of the writing! This way, they can also teach me the correct writing of it in case I mess up...that's right. The kanji has a certain stroke order that you're supposed to write with. So even if you write one line at the wrong time or the wrong direction, it's counted as WRONG! But slowly, I think I'm getting it...
Well, I guess we'll see how it goes! Wish me luck!
