_-Ohayou gozaimasu~! Wahehe! Yep,since I'm a Thaddean, I have a new curriculum and what excites me is that we have a foreign language. In our 1st year, we'll study Nihonggo and in our 2nd year, we'll have Mandarin. Since I'm an irregular 2nd year student, I still have to take the Nihonggo class. Not that I'm against it, in fact I'm pretty excited about it.
So yeah. I took the foreign language class. I missed our first day of class, but it's okay since my classmates told me that they only tackled basic introductions. Easy peasy. I have a background on japanese so the introductions is a piece of cake. They tackled about the basics, Ohayo, kombanwa, watashi wa namae wa _______-chan desu, so yeah, those stuff.
And on our 2nd meeting, our sensei, Medrano-sensei asked me to introduce myself. I think she assumed that I'll tell her that I don't know any japanese words or phrases, but I think she was impressed with me when I turned to my classmates, bowed in front of them and said, "Hajimemashite. Watashi wa namae wa Kaycee-chan desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu." Heck yeah. I used those words she didn't teach them. Ha! In her face. She asked me if I have any background on the japanese language and I said yes. I watch anime and I self-study japanese. She nodded and smiled at me. So yeah. Then our sensei once again tackled about the basic introductions. I was tempted to roll my eyes and shout, "We all know that already! Teach us something else." But being polite that I was, I didn't do that. I just sat and texted my friends.
And last wednesday, on our third meeting, I was really pissed off with her. Imagine, she told us, I mean the whole class that the japanese meaning of brother is "otoko." Can you believe that?
I insisted that brother means onii-chan or aniki or kyodai, but nooooo.... She said that otoko is japanese. I told her that otoko means man, the equivalent of onna, which means woman.
Dammit. She ruined my day with a simple mistranslation. I wouldn't make a big fuss out of it if she didn't insisted that brother means otoko.
ONII-CHAN! GO KILL MY SENSEI!
Over and out,
