Just found out that I passed N3 (checked the online results so technically not official yet). To be honest I was convinced I didn't pass. I felt I did rather bad in the reading section and had to re...

Registered for JLPT-N2 in Dusseldorf. I don't have too much confidence on passing though. My schedule is a bit too tight to fit everything in, but I'm going to do my best anyhow.

I'm going to try for JLPT N2 this summer. I've been slacking off ever since I've obtained N4 last year, but for the last few months I've been trying hard to keep adding kanji regularly to my Anki lis...

Anyone know where I can find the Unicom JLPT books for JLPT3 (old level) or the JLPTN4? I don't seem to be able to find them in Kinokuniya in Tokyo?

Maybe good to know for some people. When you're using your MC/Visa for withdrawing cash, make sure that you know what they charge you for the transaction. It is usually cheaper to withdraw more mone...

I could use my (Belgian) debit card at Citybank to withdraw cash. For Mastercard/Visa I would recommend the Postal Office machines.

Surprisingly participating in the JLPT has actually motivated me to study more seriously so I have been going at it faster than before the test.
