Decided to verify my account few months ago because, as per LinkedIn, verification makes your chances of getting recruited higher (which may be total bullshit). But when I saw it led to a third-party service that seemed pretty shaddy and over the top, I decided against it. Glad I trusted my gut feeling

It was N4, as per the results it corresponds to A2

Received the results for the JLPT exam I took last december ! I passed, (99/180 so pretty short as you need 90 to pass) but still quite proud of it.

I need to restart my learning :)

Bonne année !! 🦆

I’ll focus more on output/production in Japanese (mainly written). The goal is to gain confidence and stop trying to “overcorrect” myself and stop triple checking everything. I’ll start by writing a new year card to my teacher and my host family back in Japan. :)

I also want to keep developing the app I started last year, perhaps for a public release if I feel confident enough.

I have been using Bruno and I am quite happy with it (+ you can version and share your projects) https://www.usebruno.com/

Anyone knows how this sentence may be pronunced ?

わあい。そだなぃでぁ。

Trying to pronunce the smaller ぁ sounds so unatural

Thank you ! It did go pretty well :)

Kanji/Vocabulary and grammar went wayyy better than I expected. However I round the oral comprehension part hard, probably because it was at the end and I kind of lost focus. Overall I am pretty proud of me, hope I’ll have enough points :)

N4 !

Going for JLPT today ! I’ll give my best, feeling pretty ready.

Going for N4 ! So approximately a low - mis A2 level I guess ?

I have been able to motivate myself to study for the japanese official exam (JLPT) I have coming this next december Pretty hard to tell for now if I have the required level, I should try a sample test of the level I am aiming for. Might do it this week :)

Si je ne dis pas de bêtises, c’est pour absorber les différents liquides qui ont pu fuir (carburant, huile, etc…). Ca permet donc d’éviter aux voitures de glisser et ca facilite le nettoyage aussi probablement.

Game soundtracks, mainly World of Warcraft because of the sheer amount of different music ambience and also because of the nostalgia hit.

I recommend https://youtube.com/@meisio for very very well crafted videos of pretty much every zone the game has or is offering.

Wow, si peu après son concert d’adieu… o7

I’d say it’s good for vocab, and hearing maybe ? Some things really sound unnatural.

The only course I can speak of is Japanese (no premium) and it’s imho complete ass if it’s your only source of knowledge. Only gimmicky sentences and speech elements

I think the whole thing comes from this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMJNEFHj8b8&t=276 (at ~4:30)

C’est une très belle avancée, mais comme le dit l’article :

Mais c’est aussi l’un des textes les plus restrictifs au monde en raison de ses critères sur la “phase avancée ou terminale” de la maladie et le “pronostic vital engagé”.

Je trouve que ce critère réduit énormément le nombre de personnes éligibles, et permet juste d’accélérer une mort certaine.

Ça me fait penser à cette vidéo que j’ai vu passer il y a pas longtemps d’une vidéaste américaine (PhysicsGirl si je me souviens bien) atteint de fatigue chronique suite a un COVID long, qui l’a littéralement clouée au lit pendant 2 années. Elle y mentionne aussi un ami atteint de la même maladie depuis plusieurs années et qui compte faire appel à un suicide assistée / aide à mourir. En l’état, les personnes dans un cas similaire n’auraient pas accès à ce soin… C’est pourtant à eux que je pense en premier. Une vie pas menacée, mais devenue invivable.

Ca reste néanmoins un pas dans la bonne direction !
