Just got the results… passed the 3rd Kyu Japanese Proficiency test. Of all the things that have had me bothered recently this was about number 3 or 4. So one of the list, just a few more to go! w00t.
So, now should my goal for next year be 2nd kyu or 1 kyu… Maybe first kyu. Of course that is equivocal to being fluent, so I don’t know if that is possible without some major investment in schooling and time.. we’ll see how Tokyo goes. High fluency = more money and better job.
definitely get more language training. even if you come back to the states, knowing japanese will earn you bankage…especially in the tech industry.
