more japanese? (1 Viewer)

[Toodulu]

hey, now that we've finished the hsc and are having a better think about what we'd like to study next year (for those of us pursuing a tertiary education), are you kids going to continue with japanese?

i'm going to keep going with jap, at least in first year anyway. and hopefully go to japan for exchange if i have the chance. after studying jap at school i still feel like i hardly know any japanese... hopefully i'll find uni work more fulfilling without being left behind!

 

[Lexicographer]

Absolutely. I'm taking as much Japanese as I can if I can't get to a language-specific degree, and plan on taking at least a solid year in Japan during or after my degree. There's just too much I miss about the place to abandon it now...

 

[hk31]

i feel like i've forgotten most of my japanese...

but yeah...i'm goin to continue it in UNI

At university? I don't know. I can press on without official schooling of it.

You should work on your listening skills and kanji. I dropped in on friend's jap classes and syd, and the teacher for that class primarily spoke japanese.

I also read his exercises. It's all cool, but the more common kanji don't have furigana.

 

[Lexicographer]

Oh dear. I just found out today that my mega-specialised Applied Physics degree has barely any electives, and they're all crammed together in second and third years... No Japanese until Spring 2005.

 

[BlackJack]

You *can* overload, can you not? It's not too insane to do more than you need.

 

[Lexicographer]

Overloading? When I'm already doing Chemistry 1C whith no chemistry background? When I'm already doing Maths Modelling when I only JUST passed 2 unit?

...nah.

 

[kt san]

oh...i noe that i can't do japanese until second yr...for commerce
so i'm doing bcomm/barts
so i can take japanese full on....

 

[kouri]

dunno whether i should take it as an elective or not.. for 2nd sem.

erhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ARghh *foam starts coming out*

 

[Toodulu]

i'm taking jap in both semesters, it's 4 hours a week!

 

[Newbie]

I think i can take some gen eds on my course yay

 

[pigs_can_fly]

no you can't, ur doing comm/law, and unsw won't let u overload either...same as usyd

 

[Newbie]

Students who opt to graduate from the BCom component prior to completing the law component will be required to complete extra comemrce course and also some general education courses


nyahhhhhhhhhh

 

[poloktim]

Japanese clashes with a core subject in my degree, so I'm looking at what my options are (I know what they are, I'm looking at what advice the uni gives me). Otherwise I could take Beginners Japanese. But that would likely get VERY boring.

Though both Beginners and Post HSC end up at the same place at the end of the year.

 

[pigs_can_fly]

screw u newbs!

 

[Toodulu]

why, isn't that a good thing

and whoa? they end up the same at the end of first year? i think at my uni they'll lead to different 2nd year jap communication units

 

[Lexicographer]

Toodulu which university are you headed to?

 

[Toodulu]

some dodgy place at camperdown

 

[kouri]

Gen ed... i think i'd choose something else besides japanese...

well if you are serious about japanese, then studying it for fun at tafe is another choice....
dunno if it sucks there or not..

BUT erhhh..
elective.. gen ed.. erhh erhhh erhh..
psychology \or japanese haha..
