I've been taking a Japanese language class for fun to keep my mind occupied until college football starts. However, this freakish gunner in my class is ruining it for me. Let me back up. The class is an adult learning class offered through a Japanese American society. Most people in the class are taking it because they read a lot of manga or watch a lot of anime. This is not a high intensity thing, but... for some reason my class has been invaded by this "woman" who insists on shouting out the answer to every question.
She isn't a native English speaker, and even I can tell her Japanese accent is off. So not only does she scream out sentences while the rest of the class is trying to repeat them, she throw us all off with her messed up accent.
Today, a true gunner, a guy who wants the language class on his application for law school, tried to shout over her. She looked really stupid. But she didn't seem to realize it. She continued to try to impress the teacher and the class with her great knowledge of Japanese.
Not sure why anyone would think the folks in our class are going to be impressed, but I'm relatively certain my classmates would agree with me that she is annoying, but also so desperate for attention that she dominates this class.
At this point I do most of my learning outside of class. We had a substitute teacher the past few sessions, and she managed to control the gunner by going through exercises and having us individually answer.
