Vilse i Japan

My teachers rocks. All of them must think that we swedes are a bunch of alcoholics since every morning they ask what we did last night and more often than not we say that we went to a bar or karaoke and drank alot of beer. (Due to major confusion I must point out that we just say we go to these places, not that we actually do... Well mostly)With that being said I will say a few words about everybody, beginning with Kurita Sensei.

Kurita sensei, 栗田, is pretty much the average teacher with just a dash of malice. He is tough but fair and tries to set traps for us when he asks something. He has a quite unique method of teaching wich involves us having wrong and then correcting us. We sure as hell learn to say right from it since nobody likes being wrong infront of the class. He is the teacher I like the least but that does not mean I dislike him. He is awesome. He is also the teacher who can speak the most english so he is the one we ask when we have questions about grammar and particle bits in how to build sentences.


Saito sensei, has a too complicated kanji for this computer... She is like the "kind mother teacher"-type. Makes sure that everybody understands and if they don't she tries in broken english to explain. She is the teacher who teaches us hiragana and katakana so naturally she is the one we have the most quizes with. But that is nothing negative as we all like her anyway. She is also the teacher who has thought me the most kanji and that is something I value since kanji is made of win and awesome. I can even spell my own name now thanks to her and it means "Break bird forever". Quite awesome indeed.


Ookawachi sensei, 大河内. The cute student who is our teacher on mondays and thursdays. She knows almost no english so if anyone is lost we have to help him or her the best we can since Ookawachi does not quite understand what we mean. This migh be beacuse of inexperience or just beacuse of her inability to understand english but that does not stop her from teaching us truckloads of japanese every time we have her. She has quite uniqe methods of teaching such as we draw a picture and describe it and so on. It might seem a bit weird but you sure learn what you are supposed to be learning.



Last but certanly not least we have Kubota sensei, 久保田. "Genki som fan" is a very nice description of her since she is always really happy. And by really happy I mean really happy. She comes in like a ray of light and fills our day with sunshine. She is the teacher I like the most and the "well it's okay if you don't understand the first time"-kind of teacher. We have her and Ookawachi on thursdays making them the best weekday for me since they are the funniest and of course the cutest teachers. Kubota can also take a joke and her method of teaching in the beginning was taking our books and pens just to make us ask for them. She got the nickname "dorobo" sensei, meaning thief teacher, and everytime someone mentions it she smiles and says "dorobo ja arimasen", I'm not a thief. We share our laughs and today when I said I was the best cook in japan she jokingly invited herself over for dinner. She also says that she is 20 years old (but she is like 34) and to be honest, she almost looks like she could be that young.



Sorry about crappy pictures but there was some junk behind the camera when they were taken (me that is)
