Special Sup Forums FAQ: >What's the point of this thread? For learners of Japanese to come and ask questions and shitpost with other learners. Japanese people learning English can come too I guess. >Why is it here? The mods moved us here and won't let us go anywhere else. >Why not use the pre-existing Japanese thread? The cultures are completely different. >Go back to Sup Forums We'd like to. Bitch to the mods.
Why can the potential form of 五段 verbs ending in る be expressed with られる? What makes them so special?

A board, is a board No matter where you post
Sebastian Foster
N2 here. Did great on reading, horrible on listening. Some questions completely flew over my head.
John Fisher
Beginner here. I'm beginning to love kanji because it makes it so much easier to read. Kind of feels like optimizing code.
However, i've noticed some kanji characters are followed by a single hiragana character like い. Am i correct in assuming that's for conjugation like spanish?
Andrew Foster

>there are people in this thread who took something other than N1
>when N1 isn't even hard
>and you still have the Kentei 1 to worry about
Christian Nelson
Absolutely agree, man. Did great on reading. Yet the listening part was really hard. I remember being surprised at just how complex it was.
It might be my own fault of course, considering that last year I took the N3 and aced the listening section, so I assumed the N2's would be relatively easy. Guess I was wrong.

Tests are simple illusions created by ningen to shroud reality. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.
Charles Torres
Same, except I didn't do so well on reading either, but I was expecting it to be a lot harder. 90% of the listening questions were complete guesses from me.
Mason Foster
>there are multiple people in this thread who paid for the test but didn't take it
Xavier Jackson
Let's try again on a board where would get banned.
this seasons awful and VNs are more interesting though I was able to pass N3 by guessing on listening so maybe the same will happen this time.

Honestly if I passed I'd be surprised as fuck. I'm definitely not N2 level when it comes to Japanese, and I winged a lot of shit, relying on my great test-taking skills. Hell, I pretty much winged the entire test.

Unless you're retarded you can learn whatever the university is going to teach you during the fucking classes themselves.
Lucas Smith
>Unless you're retarded you can learn whatever the university is going to teach you during the fucking classes themselves.
Not the case with the professor of this philosophy class.
I failed this guy's class before and i'm giving it another shot.
He has the most weirdest class format i've ever seen. There's no attendance check -- you're free to skip all his classes and only come for the tests if you want. But his tests aren't even based on his lectures in class or the text. It's a weird philosophy thing that you have to think out of the box type shit.
Easton Wright
Well I wouldn't actually use the certificate for anything. I just wanted it. But right now even going outside fills me with dread so I didn't go. Maybe next year if I feel like it. I can only go up from here. I got overwhelmed by school. My intake of Japanese and things I actually enjoyed went down dramatically. I couldn't do anything. Now that I dropped everything I can breath again and have been enjoying Japanese again. If I took the test I probably would have failed. And I do have a plan. Get a job, get good and become manager. They make enough money for me to live on because I'm a person with very few desires.
Sorry for blog, but since we're talking about JLPT and all.

It is if you're a woman
Read a story about a woman that applied for a job and told them on the resume "i'm applying to this job because it has a japanese branch" and they fucking sent her there after only 3 weeks on the job
Michael Myers
Women have it easier because men just automagically assume the woman they're hiring is going to be hot.
90% of the time they're wrong. (9% of the time they have bfs)

You have another year. I've been studying on and off for two or so. Im more focused on real life now but im still going for n2 at least by 4 years in.
Just keep trying and pushing yourself. You knew it was going to be hard before you started.
Joshua Richardson
You should get a trip so anons can filter out your avatarfagging and blog shit. It would be the decent thing to do.

Joseph Torres
Sometimes you need to get off in your high horse dude. DJT has always been like that.
Hudson Thomas
I either don't really have a dream or the "dream" I had was just something I thought of because I needed to work towards "something". I don't really feel bad, more like relieved. I'm sure I have more than one thing wrong with my brain but it's seriously fun for me to sit around and daydream. And I have creative outlets to put my despair into too so don't worry. I just don't think there's anything "out there" that would make things great and happy. I just want to be at peace. I'll never stop learning, it's just that college wasn't right for me. Hopefully I'll be fine despite that. Good luck to everyone else who is working at it.

That's only true for stupid classroom learners. For us eroge masterrace, it's normal to finish 20-30 minute early on reading, assuming you are good enough to pass the test to begin with.

Only if you spend 10-12 hours a day reading VNs. We've been over this.

Yeah it's a bit of a meme. I'm 27 and have been studying for 4 years and took the N4 for the second time today, it takes time.
Dominic Martinez
>you could easily get N1 or even fluency in a single year
You can. With a good strategy.
You need to spend an entire year and not play video games, have a social life, get girlfriends, or do anything but study.
it's technically, -technically- possible.

You can become fluent in Japanese in just six months, user
Honestly it doesn't really count for anyone who is obsessed with japanese media before starting anyway.
Like we all know Fin could have gotten N1 in a year starting from when he "officially" started studying if he had actually tried.

We already went over the fact that polyglot fluency is nothing close to N1
Kevin Williams
Let us know how that works out for you. Hopefully not an update everyday though. And shouldn't you be studying right now? No point in replacing all those things with pointless /djt/ time.
David Bennett

I became fluent in Japanese in only six weeks, once.
Jayden Johnson
I actually like that guy. And iirc he's talking about basic conversation which I think you could do in that amount of time. It would just have to be basic everyday stuff.
