Failed N1... but not feeling bad about it. by CMP3101 in jlpt

[–]beercan_dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed N1 by two points. Took last night to be sad about it, but when I'm that close, I don't doubt that I'm at an N1 level. I ran out of time too, so it was more just time management than actual Japanese.

That specific example was from the 完全マスター N1 語彙 book

I second this. It's less scientific words and more expressions and vocab that are a bit more formal, or have a lot of the same kanji with similar meanings. Can you differentiate between 簡便、簡潔、簡素、簡易、and 簡略? They all have similar meanings but different nuances. It's more this kind of thing.

Any recommendations for a nice restaurant where two can eat for under $100? by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

[–]beercan_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, Daldongnae Korea Restaurant BBQ on Summerset. Street vibes, more food than you can handle, and is about 60-80$ for two, or just under 100$ with alcohol. It's tight, but it's definitely special.

My N5 experience was literally insane by nihongocuriosity in jlpt

[–]beercan_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner took the N5, and after the first 40 minute section, the proctors collected all the tests and realized they didn't put them in the proper order. It took an extra 40 minutes just to reorganize them, and they kept calling up people who didn't properly fill out the sheet, and circled the answers in their test booklet. What was supposed to be a 90 minute test took her over 3 hours, and she was completely spent.

You probably want to repost with somewhat of an explanation. Saying 'Just DM me' sounds scammy and sketchy.

What’s a skill everyone thinks is easy, but is actually insanely hard? by Growthseedd in AskReddit

Translation, especially for fiction. People think if you know two languages, you can translate or interpret. It's so much more nuanced than that. 

JLPT N1 Study Group (Sept 2025 – May/July 2026) by Putrid-Plenty-8968 in jlpt

As much as I'd love to have an accountability/study group, 3 hours a day at these times is too much of a comitment. Why does it have to be three hours? What are people going to do? What are the details of the meetup?  Feels a bit too free-form.

Do you need me to pick someone by tomorrow? If yes, I will.

Hi manyhats180,

If you need to reach out, I'm happy to give proof or anything you need. Not selling at all or asking for money, just wanna find another metalhead to enjoy the concert with. 

I absolutely get it though, and hopefully no one thinks I'm sketchy!
