Happy 25th Birthday!

August 9, 2014 by Chikorita157 9 Comments
Artist: Kisugi Akira

It seems like yesterday since I turned 24 years old. Like last year, it has been a calm year thus far except for the couple big snowstorms. Not to mention, I have been focusing primarily on learning new vocabulary and Kanji from playing video games and memorizing them through flash cards. I am still planning to tackle grammar needed for JPLT (will focus on N3 next year) with the references I have since there are apparently not many good advanced level textbooks unless you want to learn from one that is only in Japanese.

As I turn 25 years old, I have a feeling that 1/4th of my life has already passed by me although I look younger than my actual age. During those years, I have been focusing mostly on education. After the fall semester, I will finally complete my master’s degree and find my first job. I have high hopes that I will get a good paying job, but it won’t be easy. Once I get a one, I don’t expect things to be drastically different depending on the workload. In fact, I will be able to cover more types of content and be able to attend Anime conventions. Not sure which one I will go to, but Otakon is a good possibility since it’s only about a 3-hour drive from where I live. I’ll figure it out once I get there.

With that, feel free to say Happy Birthday in the comments below.  I will be streaming games today and tomorrow, so feel free to watch on Hitbox, if you want.

    Happy birthday!

    Good luck on the JLPT. The study guide book I have is all in Japanese too. That’s how most of them are since there’s no English on the test itself (once I got to Japanese 3 in college my text books were all in Japanese too). There’s a big leap from the N3 to N2 so I’m gonna need to study a lot before I can take N2. Since I’m starting classes this fall I won’t have time to study for the JLPT…but maybe next year or the year after.

      Thanks. I’m planning to aim for N3 at least and considering that I will be done with my Masters, I can focus more on studying while working. Of course, there is a advanced textbook from the Japan Times, but of course it’s all in Japanese (including the explanations). Since the intermediate textbook already covered most of the stuff from N3 and some of N2, I eventually need to ween away from using English as a clutch. That means I need to catch up on the Kanji eventually (I memorized all the frequently used radicals) and improve listening comprehension skills.

    Happy birthday! Japanese is tricky, but it’s a very rewarding language. Hope you manage to do well on the JLPT!

      Thanks. To me, the language just takes time getting used to. After I started memorizing more vocabulary and Kanji, I didn’t need to look it up as often while playing a video game. Even so, it’s still a long way until I have some level of proficiency.
