At Mission, Japanese classes are more than just
learning the language and getting the grades: our teachers incorporate various
activities and events, such as Undokai and Omatsuri (Japanese Field Day and
Food Festival, respectively), into the course both during class and outside of
school for everyone to enjoy! The teachers even make an effort to get to know
their students and care for them, too; what more could you ask for? ---S.K. J3

Although people might say that Japanese is
difficult, I think that it's worth it. You feel a certain pride when people
ask you what language you take and you say that you're taking Japanese.
Japanese might not be as easy as Spanish, or any other language, but it's
loaded with ALOT MORE FUN. We have activities throughout the year, such
as Undokai, the Food Fest, and the Karoke Festival. You will also have tons of
fun throughout the year because you'll get to know each other like family,
because unlike the other subjects in which there are ALOT of people who take
the language, you know that there are a limited number in the people in
Japanese. IT'S LIKE ONE BIG FAMILY! Take Japanese. You won't regret it! ---

I took other languages for 3 years before I decided to
switch to Japanese. I've found Japanese to be a very interesting class, not to
mention easier as well. The other language had many different complex forms to
memorize while Japanese is a lot easier. Although you do have to learn 2 new
alphabets for Japanese, it is no where near as difficult as it sounds.
Japanese 1 uses almost the entire first semester to learn the alphabets and
everyone was able to learn them quickly. Japanese is also more of a "fun"
class. It is less restricted since there are a lot more group activities which
make learning the language a lot more interesting. We often do group
activities in class that get the students out of their seats and let them move
around. Also, all the people who I've had in my Japanese classes have been
extremely easy-going people who I can get along with easily, no matter what
grade he or she is in. All in all, Japanese is one of my favorite classes. It
was completely worth it. B.H. J
