:durtle_hello: Let's Durtle the Scenic Route 🐢

Level 55!

It was a standard fourteen day level, but there were lots of huge milestones for me! I finished Minna no Nihongo (the beginners series, at least) and took a full length practice N4 test, which I think I passed pretty soundly! So I am considering myself to have officially graduated out of the beginning phase!

I also technically finished my first novel in Japanese, if we count the MNN novel as a ā€œrealā€ novel, haha. I finished the book I was reading in Spanish as well (an actual real novel), though it’s far from my first book read in Spanish. So far, haven’t missed a day yet on the read every day challenge!

In addition to my normal Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling translation workload, I’m also in the process of translating a bunch of stuff from Big Japan Pro Wrestling’s deathmatch Shakespeare shows from 2008-2011 (my rare wrestling DVD white whale :smiling_face_with_tear:). Here’s a post with all of the info I managed to gleam about the first show (King Lear) and some stuff I translated, as well as a bunch of screencaps from the DVD.

After finishing MNN, I started Tobira! Haven’t got very far yet, but I’m hoping to do one chapter per WK level (so, finish one every two weeks). I guess I’ll report back on if this pace works for me or not, haha.
