Btw, since I'm doing introductory Japanese will there be many actual Japanese people there seeing as they have possibly learnt it before from familyt etc...
I did introductory japanese almost 3 years ago (and i majored in it when i did sci/arts). Its all taught by actual Japanese academics (one on them who teaches 1st year japanese - thomson sensei speaks pretty good english).. yea so look out for the name 'thomson sensei'. Also, tutorials are taught my research / honours students.
Students wise, you'll get chinese background speakers, to those who did Japanese beginners (although some ppl i know started in level 2). I did a bit of japanese in year 11 b4 dropping it [i should have kept it though].....and people who have never done Japanese before.
mind you its fast paced and you need to keep up with the work. Hiragana and katakana was a breeze for me in the early weeks
. Other than that, i really enjoyed learning japanese!
Normal japanese people would be in the higher levels like level 3 or 4.
