It's good if you pay attention do your homework and follow instructions. This class is for those who actually want to learn Japanese. My advise is to practice as much as you can because it'll be a whole lon harder if you don't I remember my 2nd quarter I stopped practicing because I have a B in 1st quarter and my ego was fat so I thought "oh I don't need to practice and try to study. " and I ended up getting a D and homework got hard cuz I didn't know how to do some of it. So practice and you'll succeed. Try practicing with a classmate they probably know what's going on and find someone who'll help you.
