I am on lvl8 and I really hope I will get it to lvl10 by the end of the year)

Good job!

You’ve out stripped me.

I probably could, but I’ll be away for the holidays a bit and as I said earlier, I feel I need to consolidate what I’ve done so far as my correct percentages have gotten pretty bad. I feel like I don’t really know a little over half of what I’m reviewing each day. So I’d rather sit on an even 25. ^ _ ^

@tetraflu0ride

I’ve clawed my way to level 20!
(read: I’ve made a huge mistake)

You’re almost there!

[whinette]

@tankwidow the end is nigh! Should we begin to discuss the event we talked about a few month ago?

@Aikibujin

I haven’t transitioned to Skytree as my goal for this thread (25) still isn’t achieved. I’m not sure if I will continue on to that one after, as I really need to consolidate the levels I’ve unlocked, as it’s pretty overwhelming atm, and my percentages are bad.

Plus I get to stick around and root for you guys!

D’aww.

That’s not a bad idea to take a break from lessons at 25. I may do something similar when I get there. If I recall correctly, around that level is when you start to hit 80% kanji recognition in the average reading passage, which is a really great base to start with! Seems smart to slow down, let those 80% kanji sink in well, and do a bunch more reading.

Good luck! You can definitely make your goal by the end of the year!

Ah! That’s definitely a good level to solidify things then! ^ _ ^

Funnily enough, I couldn’t figure out your avatar either. I thought it looked familiar, but I’m guessing you drew it yourself? I thought it might be a character from Pusheen the Cat, but couldn’t find it…

omg yes I drew it myself how did you know also thank youuuuuuuuuuu

I mean in Tokyo you can get away without it,

If it makes a difference thats not true in Tokyo either or rarely. There are a few rare jobs here and there that will let a N3 pass in but they pay terribly, less than what an english teacher makes in general. I used to hire and run IT teams for several companies in Tokyo and unless someone was N2 or japanese the companies I worked with would almost always refuse to let someone on the team. I could get away with it sometimes if I designated a team leader with super Japanese skills to be the mouth of everyone else but even that was pushing it most of the time.

Level 20 with 10 days to go!!

This makes me sad because I’d like to work in Japan but I don’t really want to memorize a bunch of stuff just to pass a test. Is there really no other way to prove a candidate can speak Japanese? I lack experience here but I’ve heard that without a written or spoken portion the test is less about your language skills and more about your ability to cram a bunch of trivia into your brain.

Apologies if someone takes offense at this characterization of the test.
