Anyone studying English Literature with German? :)

Hi there, I'm taking English Literature, but I'm hoping to take Japanese as my language
Nice to meet you, hope to see you in September!

Japanese? That's awesome! Nice to meet you too Sophie, I'm Róisín 😊 also, as for the reading list we've received for the English Literature course, are we supposed to read the essential books before we arrive in September or? Because apparently one of the authors will be there on day one according to the email I received from them 😮 it'd be great if you could help, if not then it's fine, hope to see you in a few weeks

There are a lot of books on that list, so Im just going to read 26a before we meet the author, and maybe try to read Great expectations again

Hi!!!!

I'm doing English Literature with Japanese :-) Just bought 26a, Great Expectations and Lady Audley's Secret, but I'm having problems finding the Japanese textbooks/workbooks. Any success?

Hi there! Yes I found the Marugoto Rikai and katsudou on Amazon for about £15 each, and the BBC Talk Japanese for £10.50 ^.^ really looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks!

I've just found them on an independent webbie, called the Japan Language Centre. They have a shop in London, but you can order online; http://shop.jpbooks.co.uk There's a slight discount when you register as a student!
Make sure you get the correct volume of the Anthology! Theres like a gazillion different ones xD

I'm coming from Luton, just inside Bedfordshire, I'll be commuting from home so I was keen to meet some potential class and study mates before Freshers week!

At the moment I'm only down for English Literature but I'm thinking about adding on a language and German would probably be the one that I would choose! I'm a total beginner though, would be doing it more for the interest

Oh my god you're my saviour!!!!! Thank you :-) and yes yes, the Volume E. Gotta love Victorian Literature

Thank you for both hehe :-)

Oh wow! I'm from Halifax so it'sa long way doooown~ I'm glad I'm not the only one doing Japanese I was quite worried hehe, might just be me 'n you! Looking forward to meeting you! :-)

You're certainly moving far from home! It's funny because many of the university bound students from Luton are going up to Yorkshire to study! XD
I was also worried about being alone in studying Japanese! Do you know anything already? Perhaps we can study together ^~^

I've taught myself how to read and write hiragana, and I know a few kanji and sentences ;P
Yeh I've sorted Student Finance, maybe just put it through as Eng. Lit..? The advisors are very helpful if you need to phone them up about anything ^.^ (just prepare yourself for the rather intense Glaswegian accent!)

I can read baaaasic hiragana! That's about it haha, Kanji is a no-go for me unless it's simple Kanji like 愛，恋，君 etc~

I've emailed the Uni and asked what to do and they said they'll send me the clearing form???!????! I don't want to re-register :-(

Also, have you got your acc sorted?

Do you mean the studynet account? I have no idea how I'm supposed to do that xD
kanji is a whole lot easier than a lot of people think, if you break them down into radicals (which i reallly hope is the way they'll be taught!!)
