Japanese Class begins

I just came back from my first intermediate Japanese language class (401 group b). First thing I found out after entering the room is that about half the people in my class speak German because they’re from Switzerland or Germany, some others studying German on the side. Our class is a mix between Europeans and Asians, so pronounciation of Japanese varies greatly but all in all I think we understand each other well enough. What’s interesting is the difference of speech level compared to length of language study. Some people have studied Japanese for maybe 5 years but are at the same level as some that have studied it for 1 year only. Having studied Japanese for 2 years I don’t feel as bad anymore about not being able to do small talk at all.

With how class is structured and the topics we will cover, I think I will learn quite a lot right from the start. Another realization is that I need to brush up on grammatical topics such as passive form and.. that other one. See, can’t even remember the name of it or how to use it; though I guess at least I know it exists. Whatever it is.
