ふぅっ！受けた！
日本語能力試験二級を終わりました。合格したかどうか2月まで知られません。これから、心配するまいと思います。
Phew! Took it!
We finished the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam 2nd Level. We won’t be told whether or not we passed until February. Henceforth, we don’t intend to worry about it.
We spent a lot of time these past few weeks worrying and studying hard. The test is quite challenging.
For example, Roy started studying Japanese in August 2007, and took a test to see if he knew about as much (official) Japanese as a Middle School 2nd Grader in December 2008. I think he passed. His literacy is amazing! His devotion to learning kanji is very impressive. I have a head start on Roy, but I haven’t studied kanji as stoically as he has, so my literacy is a bit weak. This came up a lot in the 読解 section. There were several reading excerpts in which I didn’t know the kanji for the main ideas. Therefore, I didn’t really understand the entire thing. (T.T)
But anyway, we’ll find out in February whether or not we’ll be retaking it in July.
As for now, we’re off to read Manga!
