twenty-eight years and a million words
Kokubunji, 2024.02.03
For the past three+ years I've been studying Japanese with a teacher. We've been meeting once a week. Having just completed the second book in the series we've been using, she tells me that I could sit the "New N4" exam in the JLPT series. "N4" is the second-lowest, I can barely believe I could actually pass it. But she tells me that when I complete the third book, I'll be able to sit "N3", which equates roughly to conversational Japanese and is something you might see on a resume. 頑張りましょう！
