as in I'm bad? or the program is? I went to Brigham Young University for 101 and 102 then failed 201. They required everyone to memorize 30 new vocabulary and 20-25 new kanji a week in addition to memorizing the equivalent of 2 pages of conversations each week, I had 6-8 hours of Japanese homework a day. They use the text Japanese the Spoken Language by Yale Press, it's Yale University's textbook for Japanese and the program is identical, the dean of Eastern Languages is a Yale graduate.

Since I failed 201 I transfered to Utah Valley University and the class is 5x easier. That should give you an explanation of the level I'm at. I'm not really bad at Japanese and could have used Kanji, I was in a rush and being lazy. Also my question was simple and only required a simple sentence. I'm not a Japanese major but an English major taking Japanese to fulfill my language requirement.
