Salvete, minasan!

During our language classes today, the Beginner class continued learning ten more hiragana and started learning basic grammar. We learned how to introduce ourselves in Japanese to the whole class which was a big step for the Beginner class and we’re all proud of each other! In the Intermediate class, we learned how to negate adjectives, conjugate verbs to past tense, and used these to create new sentence structures. In the Advanced class, we learned new kanji and learned how to count different types of objects in Japanese, playing a matching game with cards. (Much like in English, where we have terms like a "flock" of birds or a "slice" of pizza.)
In the afternoon we had an event with the Latin Academy where we learned how to greet each other in the other Academy’s language. It was fun to meet new people and teach them how to say things in the language we’re learning. 
We also spent time preparing for Undoukai, our sports festival. We’ve been divided into two rivals teams, the red team and the white team, and we started making posters and coming up with team chants.
