You are indeed seeing me everywhere 
I post in a looooooooooooot of threads hehe
Me too, actually, I joined WK on 1st Dec last year
Have you been studying Japanese before you started WaniKani? 
I might be in Düsseldorf this December, but only for moral support. (Unless I let myself get talked into taking the N1 again 
)
Also still deliberating how I can trick @NicoleIsEnough into showing up again

If you can get @NicoleIsEnough to take N1 in December, I might show up as well

I’m probably gonna take it again this year (Failed miserably, as expected 
), so at least you wouldn’t be taking it alone?

Yes I have, don’t worry! I‘m not quite @NeoArcturus‘ level ambitious
Passed N3 in 2015, let it rust for almost a decade, started doing a language exchange last April, by now I’ve more than regained my old level.
It sounds like a lot of people might come together if one of them decides to go haha

I plan to do N5 this summer

Using “they” feels so unusual and weird for me when I talk to just one person, because I never did that.

This is strange! Singular they has been a part of the English language for hundreds of years, and it’s frequently used in everyday convo
because I never did that.
It’s never too late to start!

As a fellow non-native english speaker, I don’t think it’s strange at all. In many languages there is no natural sounding equivalent for the singular they. I do use it in english but it always feels a little weird.

I’m afraid my everyday conversations are in German
I can try, but I can’t promise anything, because as I said, to me, it feels akward
I second that!

The more you use it, the less weird it’ll get I guess

Wanted to register for this July, but I got 2 IRONMAN races this year, one in June and one in September (in South Hokkaido! Yay!), thus I thought to myself that I would not have the bandwidth to train for those two plus work commitment.
I will try the N4 in Dec though. Hopefully staying a month in Japan for holiday before the race can help me polishing the N4.

Back again after a 4+ month hiatus!
I was on track for taking N2 in December last year when life got in the way and Japanese became the least of my worries. My WK/Bunpro reviews piled up but I have been chipping away at WK since February and finally got back to 0. As for Bunpro I just reset all my N3 and N2 progress and will start fresh now, aiming for N2 in December again this year.

This year’s goal for me is to pass the JLPT N5. I’m hoping I will be worthy enough to pass it by December.
I’ve been studying intensely nonstop, not even taking a day off, since the start of September 2023. So far, my vocabulary is about 1400 words if I combine WaniKani, the Busuu course I am using, words I got from reading, and other words I got randomly here and there. I am currently at 250 kanji learned.
A Japanese teacher assessed me today and she said that she recommends the level 3 course in one of our community colleges, which covers the second half of the Genki I textbook. So that kind of gives me a rought idea what level I actually am.

I’m saying this to be helpful: if what you’re writing is true, taking N5 is a waste of money and time.
Go straight for N4 or even N3.
I’d really invite you to take a practice exam online for N5, my guess is it will be easy for you. By the time December rolls around, chances are N4 will be easy for you, too. Give it a try.

I agree with this! The N5 is:
- 800ish words
- 100 kanji
- hiragana + katakana
- about 100 grammar points or so
And you have already almost 1500 words with a year to prepare? Deffo push yourself to aim higher!!!
