It was a lot of fun.
Although I often tooktime off, it was a lot offun and I really learned
a lot of things that Iwouldn’ t have learnedin Taiwan. great!
Teacher Xiao Lin isalso very nice. This
course is very cheapand good v a l ue f ormoney.

This course is very
cheap and good value
for money. I felt like
I was experiencing
the life of a Japanesecollege student.
Although I was very
afraid of strangers in
the first week, I foundthat everyone was very
nice in the second
week, especiallywhen I really didn’ tunderstand something,someone would helptranslate. So I think
it’ s really worth taking
classes here.

In these two weeks,
I learned a lot ofknowledge in class, aswell as some drawing
techniques taught
by the teacher. And I
also think that there
are many cool thingsin the animation
course. For example,
shooting animation, themovements of eachcharacter, how to draw,
what are the angles of
his face, and where will
his hair twist after theswing. I think it is worth
learning and improving.
Thank you Mr. Obatafor your guidance inthese two weeks. You
really taught me a lotof things. ありがとうございます。

This month’ s internshipwas very interesting andI learned a lot, including
some work planning,
habits and rules in theworkplace. In terms oflearning to draw, there
are many details to think
about slowly. Although I
am a little scared of 2D
animation now, it is still
very interesting. Whenmaking the model, I
almost cut off my hand,but it was super fun.
These 30 days werealso very fulfilling, from7:30 in the morning to
6:30 in the afternoon,
which was very fulfilling.
That’ s about it, thankyou.
