JLPT

Good luck to those who are taking the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) tomorrow.
Many moons ago I passed level 4 and then level 2 the following year. After I graduated from university studying Japanese and Korean language, my teacher said that I didn't need to take level 1 ^^;
Attaching a photo of sunny Shinjuku that I took yesterday to egg you on. T'was a poster of Shinjuku that I had on my wall back in the UK that I looked at every day - certainly helped me stay focused on my Japanese language study.
Being able to speak fluent Japanese will open up many more doors of opportunity - just make sure you have an additional skill with your language as Japanese language alone will narrow down your options.
If you speak Japanese and are a superstar programmer like my man Chris Gaunt for example then I need to hear from you now - details here.
Had a load of resumes from folks with the programming skills but not the language skills. Also got a load of applications from folks with the language skills but not the programming skills.
If you are taking the JLPT tomorrow and are up cramming - dont bother. Just have a relaxing evening and allow your brain to clear its self for tomorrow.
