My first Japanese class

Today i started giving the Japanese language course in J.U.S.T.
What can i say, things went far better than i expected!^^ I could see a great interest in the language. I even found some people who have a light background about the language because they watch Anime or J-drama and participating with what they learned from them.

In todays section, 40 or more students attended the class.
The topics were : writing systems, daily life and class expressions. I used both hiragana and romaji for the expressions since i didnt teach hiragana in detail yet. This will be the topic of the next class..

Using hiragana before totally teaching it to students,as i believe, is useful. This way they will come to the next class with some background about hiragana that was learned from the expressions.
One active student actually wrote his name from the hiragana he collected from the expressions we used and showed it to me.

Actually there is something crazy about me : I love teaching Japanese language very much, and when i start i can hardly stop. For example, today after the actual class time ended, some students who had lectures left. Others who had no lectures stayed and asked for more, and i gave like 30minutes more..but i had to stop after that because i had to leave for my network security lecture. i would continue if i didn't have that lecture :p

My Japanese is not perfect. But i think my level is enough to teach a beginner and lower intermediate course...
I'm taking this class seriously, it's a great responsibility and i want everyone to benefit from it. I will utilize all the tools i have to deliver correct and accurate information.
I'm enjoying it, students are enjoying it,　それは何よりです！
Let's see how many more students we can add to the growing nihongo learners community in Jordan! (^_^)y
mata ne!
