Looking back at my JLPT moments

Posted by Cat Ramos

I told myself that I will take the JLPT 1kyuu exam this year, no matter what. Although the original goal is to pass 1kyuu in 2010 (the year of my 30th birthday), I might as well have a go at it this year. I mean, there’s really nothing much to lose, and Kouchou-sensei has already promised to free me of 1 Saturday class once the review class begins so I can join. My boyfriend has been nagging me about it, telling me he bought all those books in Japan just for me, blah blah blah. We had the same conversation over the weekend, too.

No excuses.  No proctoring this year. No more late nights with J-doramas, and back to reading Kanji handouts in the train. 🙁 Some old pictures to ‘inspire’ me…my former 2kyuu review class!! I couldn’t find that one we took at DLSU; we were all present in that pic.

The first pic was taken the day before the exam; I remember we were cramming until 6pm. Schatz was missing — he had to leave earlier because of some errand. Of course, he wasn’t Schatz then. I couldn’t even remember his name right. To me, he was just “Embassy Boy” (in reference to his former workplace). The second pic was taken at Sushiya, Robinson’s Place Manila after the exam. This time, Joy was missing from the pic & I don’t know where she went.

This is it, pansit! 1kyuu year has begun!!

    完璧!!
    日本人が書いたコメントみたいですね
    すばらしい!きっといい先生に違いない(^.^)
    私の夫は外国からきたビジネスマンに教えています
    フィリピンの人もいますよ
    でもビジネスで日本に来ている人達は、仕事ではたいてい英語を使っているのであまり熱心に勉強する人はいないみたい。本業の仕事で忙しいから、勉強する時間もあんまりないし。
    以前、夫は大阪のYMCAというところで、学生たちに日本語を教えていたことがあるんですが、学生たちの方が学習意欲があって教えがいがあったと言ってます
    英検は6月です 私のレベルだと合格ラインの少し下くらいなんです(涙)
    もっとがんばります

    日本語を使う機会がなかなかありませんから、忘れる一方で、こまりますね。。。T_T

    こんにちは
    私の夫は日本語の教師をやっています
    一級を受験するくらいのレベルだったら、日本語がとてもお上手なんですね!
    私も今年は英検の準一級を受験しようかと思ってます
    私は英語の単語をたくさん覚えないといけません((+_+))
    お互いがんばりましょうね
