  • I'm gonna take JLPT N5.
    Since it's gonna be my first time, I chose the easiest test. If I pass it (I SHOULD pass it, bruh), next year I'll take N3

    After some changes a few years ago, N4 and N3 are harder than they used to be, so I'd advise not to do it (unless you're studying like crazy). N5 is basically making sure you know basic stuff, from there all levels add tricky questions all over to "increase" the difficulty, so you may know your stuff but it gets quite confusing (specially during the listening part).

    Thanks for the advice.
    One of my classmates is going to take N4, so I'll ask her about the test, if it's to big of a jump in difficulty.
    I still have almost a year to think about the next level, so I'll take what you said into consideration
    I fucking hate keigo.
    You're telling me that to eat and to drink in sonkeigo is meshiagasimasu, but in kenjougo is itadakimasu, BUT in sonkeigo itadakimasu means to go, to come and to be?
    FUCK OFF
    Just bought stuff to make okonomiyaki. Everything tastes... weird. Not bad, just weird. Like, are flavors so "japanese" a lot of people wouldn't like it. My sister almost threw up 🗿
    Katsuobushi doesn't taste like anything I've had before, It's super weird.
    Tonkatsu sauce my beloved

    Haven't cooked it yet, just bought the ingredients. I tasted them separately, because it was my first time with that kind of food.
    It's not weird bad, it's weird for my latinamerican taste buds. I liked them, but they're very different. Katsuobushi specially was super weird to me, but I liked it.
    And yes, it'll be my first time cooking japanese stuff

    Normally when I want to cook something new I have it first on a restaurant, or I ask someone I know to show me theirs. Without anything to compare, you don't know how close is your dish in terms of taste/flavour. There's also the part of knowing your food allergies/intolerances/aversions (even a specific texture can make someone sick).

    Yeah. I'm gonna go eat okonomiyaki before making it, so, as you say, I know if I'm making it correctly
    Kanji are hard, man, but when you finally learn that one kanji that's been troubling you, it's super satisfying

    Yeah, pretty much. Studying 100 kanji in a day is not useful at all, if you're going to forget 85% of them one hour after. I think learning 5-10 kanji in a day is enough
    I don't think I have actually learned a kanji if I can't write it several days after studying it, in a random moment

    Since I like a certain line of Kanji Books (textbooks) I used to go leason by leason, which meant 15-20 kanjis, and spent a few days working on them to properly learn them. Of course, it's not only about meaning, you also need to be able to read them regardless where they are and handwrite them (good luck trying to tell them apart when they are just one stroke or one radical different).
