I don't remember ever having a Japanese 12 class ... but for a time wasn't it all confusing and there was an option to sign up for it that was kinda hidden and the number kept changing and everyone was confused? ... Uh, maybe I'm making this up. D:
I dind't even realise there was an 11E.
It would've been when you were in Japanese 10, and the teacher wasn't actually a Japanese teacher but was like an art teacher that had gone on JET for a year? And there were like five of us in the class who were in 11E and the rest of you were in 10 all in the same classroom at the same time but then 11E got cancelled because the teacher couldn't handle teaching two classes at the same time (and lol who could blame him)? And so I went into Spanish 11E instead. :D Well I might have the number wrong, but it was something like "11E," it was the class where they taught the content from Japanese (or Spanish) 9 and 10 all in one semester ...
King Lear (am I spelling that right?)
aha yes I believe you are. xD
I wish that we took just a few days to learn basic case markings and what they meant as far as japanese particles went.
Man, I wonder!! That would definitely be an interesting experiment. My first reaction when I read your comment was to remember all the students in high school language classes who don't actually care about language, and I'm pretty sure it would all be 100% lost on them ... but for the people who were paying attention, I wonder if it would work??
I mean I don't think it would necessarily solve everything though. I imagine there'd still be lots of trouble regarding the differences between "wa" and "ga" (but EVERYONE has trouble with those, so).
I didn't actually take the Japanese linguistics class where you learn about case markings ... I only know about them from my one pitiful semester of Ancient Greek. xD;
