Japanese Class

I've had 2 Japanese language classes now but they've both been done in the usual 'introduce yourself' style. Pretty pointless as everyone in the class has known each other for 2 or 3 weeks before the class...

I'm not sure what a proper class is going to be like, but going by the amount of work we need to do for next week, it'll be hard. At Cardiff, we usually get 15-20 kanji a week and complain. Here, we've been given 80 to learn in a week...
