SUMMARY OF MY JAPANESE CLASS
Books for this class
I have accomplished my Japanese class for three semesters in SLAJ1152, SLAJ2252 and SLAJ2352 at MJIIT, UTM Kuala Lumpur. Even though this language is a must course for us to graduate, but I have other reasons why I love to learn Japanese language. I’d bet that at least once in your life, you’ve felt a pang of regret during an encounter with someone from a different culture, when you realised how the experience could be enriched by knowing that person’s language. That’s also me regretting a lot before this. But…not know, I learned Japanese already! Besides, it is my dreams goal to travel to Japan in future, so I think it is early preparations that I have done. Moreover, in UTM Kuala Lumpur, students had a lot of opportunities to go to japan under Sakura program, GMP and much more. So, they can apply this language over there successfully. For three semester I learned Japanese, I was guided by two beautiful sensei, SALWATI sensei and LOW sensei that always patient to teach us until we understand better.
I had given three different assignment for three semester:
1st semester
In group of three, we need to act in front of class based on vocabulary and sentences that we have learned so far. So my groups story line is we went to watch shop to buy a watch based on cheapest price we can get. It’s really fun as we need to utilize our japanese knowledge and make a short dialogue.
2nd semester
For this semester, we need to do the assignment individually. The task is we need to interview japanese lecturer and dig more about them. So, I decided to choose Dr Jun Ishimatsu for me to interview. I know a lot about him such as favorite place to eat, where he is live in japan and many more. Suprisingly, he can speak malay fluently

3rd semester
I think this is the best task for Japan languages. It is because we need to make a video based on what situations we want. It tooks us about 2 days to shoot the video. We really laughed a lot when watched back the video. And other’s group too. For your information, im in charge to edit the video as I really love to to this kind of thing.

Last but not least, what can I concluded is once you’ve held your very first conversation in a foreign language, trust me: you’ll never look back. I am really glad for taking this language class. Currently, I am preparing for Job Fair Interview that will be held on October 2020. I have finished module one for Special Japanese Program last month for about one month and now, I still doing self-study to improve my vocabulary, grammar and so on for the interview.
