Anyone Else Starting the Japanese Studies Course in September 2011?

Really? Is vorpal different then? I was told to put my picture on vorpal before 15th September to get my uni card when I register.

Vorpal? for my uni card i had to send my picture with a form before I registered.

Nevermind

I asked the guy I got the info off again and he said that was his nickname for the registration department :/ I need to punch him in September.

Says we can pick up on card during registration though :smile:

but we won't know how until early September.

Edit: Here, have a description for Japanese History though. I got that ages ago by asking for it via e-mail. :x

That attachment was amazing, really in-depth information about the History module. I'm very interested to see this for the other modules. Do you have them too? If not, how would you suggest I find them?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't have any other ones. I got it by emailing SEAS and asking for it. I told them the descriptions on the module website weren't good enough for me to make informed decisions. :smile:

I'm going for History and Literature. I can't say that either subject appeals to me hugely, but it sounds a lot better to me than the other options. I dropped English History as soon as I could in High School, but Japanese History does sound a whole lot more interesting.

I wish I could do more language modules, though. There isn't any way of doing that, is there?

I feel the same way. I'm sure the modules will get more interesting as we do them but if I could have my way I'd study East Asian Cinema if that was still an option, and put some spring modules in place of the autumn ones! I think the choice is quite limited!

Ahhh, I was wondering why this thread wasn't updating then realised it'd somehow escaped from my watched threads :s-smilie:

So, anyone Skype?

Sure. Username is "redpaperwhite". I like red.
I'm up for voice chats so long as it's in a group.

I need to say something about the course, I feel like I've not contributed very much here.

Yay, other people use Skype. I never got MSN working right.

If anyone wants it, pm me for my username. I had to make it my real name for professional reasons so I can't post it on the interwebs. :frown:

So after months of begging, I finally received one of these rare Japanese-German cultural exchange buttons. I was literally jumping with joy when I opened the mail earlier today... my neighbors probably think I've totally lost it.

Stalking me has never been easier with this on my bag. :V

Fun fact: the kanji for Germany - 独 - also means alone. English people got their kanji - 英 - without any other meanings. :<

英 also means like すぐれている (brilliant?). For example in 英才教育 (special education for gifted children).

Congratulations by the way! :biggrin:

I do wonder why they came up with 英 representing English. I'd assume it already meant brilliant before that. Too bad there's no module that teaches the origin of kanji, how they evolved, etc. I could actually imagine that being kind of fun. :O
