Welcome to 学校と まいにちの せいかつ, School and Routine
Japanese high schools are different in several ways. One of the differences is that students belong to a homeroom and they have a homeroom teacher. Interestingly and in direct contrast to American schools, in primary school up to high school the students stay in their same homeroom groups every year, meaning they are interacting with the same students in their homerooms for their entire formative year. Teamwork and pride in their school is taught by the homerooms and the curriculum. The photo above shows a classroom door. The sign says: the third year class number nine.
You must keep in mind that fluency in Japanese (or any foreign language) does not happen over night. It may seem to be a very slow process to you but it is one that is achieved the more you practice and seek ways to use your new skills.
