Reflection #6

This week we started on Causative - Passive sentences. This form is used for telling what someone made you do and it had a negative effect for you.  It is more like someone "forced" you to do something.  It is set up similar to the causative and passive forms by being like a combination of both.
The hardest thing this week was when there was a discrepancy over which form is the most common to use. It made me very confused, but in the end I figured it out.  It was very interesting to find out the most common form to use was not in the book, and even after class I asked my Japanese friends and they both agreed with Yuki-sensei saying that way that was not in the book was the best.  So I have been trying to learn that way instead of the book, because I want to use the form that most Japanese people use.
The easiest thing was creating the Causative- Passive sentences because they are just like a combination of both causative and passive.  So if you can understand both causative and passive, it is very easy to create.
The most fun thing was all the Japanese students that keep coming to our class.  It is a nice break from class to learn more about the Japanese students.
I will be trying to practice Causative - Passive a lot more this upcoming week.
