Question 1

I really enjoyed Lesson 10 which was about people's name. I enjoyed hearing about the meaning of their kanji.

Question 2

For me the art lesson was difficult as I have no particular interest in hard. Don't get me wrong, I like art, but I am not a connoisseur.

Question 3

I heard some very entertaining stories. I should probably keep them private for now...

Question 4

I usually spend about 15-20 minutes writing and another 15-20 minutes commenting.

Question 5

There is nothing which I regret. I feel that my classes went well.

Question 6

The first step is to read the questions then "sleep on it" and write your answers the next day.
