What to do with [University of Tokyo] [Second Foreign Language]
-
Maybe Chinese TLP?
- Will I be assigned to a Chinese TLP class in the Chinese TLP?
- The TLP community seems interesting.

- Will it be in the same class as the International Course?
- Is SoRa-san in the International Course?

[University of Tokyo Class Assignment]
-
This is the class assignment based on the second foreign language for the 2020 enrollment year.
-
Spanish and Chinese still seem to be popular.
-
-
- It’s not decided anywhere, but since 2019, it seems to be usually 🇨🇳TLP+International.
- Will I be assigned to a Chinese TLP class in the Chinese TLP?
-
It depends on whether it’s half a year or two years.
- In the first place, language acquisition doesn’t end in half a year.
- If it’s half a year, Russian seems the most interesting in terms of class atmosphere.
- However, if you immerse yourself in that culture for two years, it becomes a different problem.
- It seems fun, though.
- However, I’m a little scared to further drive myself in that direction in an environment that already has a male-to-female ratio of 8:2.
- Well, maybe I can adjust that in [University of Tokyo circles] or something (blu3mo).
- Another option is to change languages every year (takker).
- Some people have that strategy.
- However, I don’t think you can learn much in just one year (takker).
- I still want to continue for two years.

Current motivation ranking as of 0215
- Tier 1
- Chinese
- The most motivated
- I studied it once before
- Got sidetracked by other tasks though
- Chinese is great (takker)(takker)
- Chinese
- Tier 2
- Honestly, there’s no reason other than “they seem cool” for any of them
- German
- Might be useful for Western philosophy-related stuff, maybe
- It’s said that the inflection is hell (takker)
- I knew someone who was studying it, and it seemed tough
- I see (blu3mo)
- French
- Same as German
- Russian
- Occasionally see it on Twitter and it piques my interest
- German
- Honestly, there’s no reason other than “they seem cool” for any of them
- Tier 3
- There’s no reason to avoid them, but no reason to learn them either, something like that
- Let’s do a little research
- Korean
- Spanish
- Italian- There is an idea to learn Chinese and Russian as languages of countries that are likely to dominate the world in the future, even if the motivation is impure (takker).
- There’s no reason to avoid them, but no reason to learn them either, something like that
- Even if you don’t dominate, I think it’s convenient because it’s a language used by the majority of the world’s population.
- Tier 1
-
TLP
- If you’re really good at English, it might be a good idea to aim for trilingualism, but it’s probably better not to (takker).
- It will be mentioned in /villagepump/20歳前後の思い出#620b2e83774b17000098a4cf.
- However, I think your capacity and blu3mo’s capacity are completely different, so it might be a good idea to try it only in the first semester and reduce it from the second semester if it seems too difficult to fit into your schedule.
- Oh, regardless of capacity, I recommend attending all the lectures you are interested in only for the first time.
- It might also be a good idea to attend and observe until the second or third time.
- I see (blu3mo).
- I’m thinking of trying it for now because it seems like you can quit in the middle (blu3mo).
- Oh, regardless of capacity, I recommend attending all the lectures you are interested in only for the first time.

To avoid the situation mentioned above,
-
① Make sure that the language you choose in the “TLP application” matches the language you selected as the “second foreign language”.
-
Example: Select Chinese as the second foreign language, and select Chinese in the TLP application.
-
② Choose one language as your desired “second foreign language” (you generally don’t write a second preference). If you happen to write two or more desired second foreign languages, make sure that the first preference matches the language you selected in the “TLP application”.
- If you’re really good at English, it might be a good idea to aim for trilingualism, but it’s probably better not to (takker).
