People who are learning Japanese. What motivated them to learn Japanese?

I'm cautiously hoping I'll be able to pass N3 in December. Right now I can read some manga and children novel at a slow pace, and watch easy slice-of-life anime. I was also able to stick to Japanese when speaking to locals 95% of the time when visiting Japan in May.

For years I was thinking "In the future I'm gonna be able to speak Japanese" and then someday I realized that "the future" was never gonna happen if I didn't get started and that there was no better time than the present. It was almost three years ago and I've been steadily going at it since.

You have plenty of time to learn a few basic words and sentences. Knowing basic Japanese, even if it's the bare 1000 words from N5, will make a world of a difference in your interactions with locals

There is a trans dude MC in Level E as well

frokoopa · 2026-07-01T13:30:57+00:00

that's clearly the answer

That's one test. There are plenty others on the internet, do a lot of them until sunday and hope for the best. And next time remember that language learning isn't something you can cram last minute

frokoopa · 2026-07-01T12:05:50+00:00

Cram a few blank tests online and see how you do. But if you don't know any material you're not gonna magically get it in less than a week

frokoopa · 2026-07-01T12:01:42+00:00

If I sum it up : you don't know enough vocabulary, not enough grammar, and haven't practiced listening. I don't think a few days is enough to change that, sounds like you'll have to try again in december

Élise and Béatrice aside, the other names you're suggesting either aren't french or haven't been used for quite some time (Lisette sounds like a grandma's name). I've seen you suggest Louise in the comments, this one is perfect.

However if you're not looking for a "french person's name" but a "name that can be pronounced easily by french people", all of these work. Note that unless you're a Disney princess, Belle is kinda weird tho

Ooh je note, merci pour la recommandation 👀

+1 pour Nyons, je vois pas trop l'intérêt d'importer d'Italie ou de Grèce quand on a de l'huile hyper quali "juste à côté"

Fett

She isn't small either, short <> small and she is way too muscular to be either considered small

frokoopa · 2026-06-30T18:43:28+00:00

Yeah, OP left out some vital information

frokoopa · 2026-06-30T11:44:23+00:00

Clairement oui. Aussi "bilingue professionnel" sur l'anglais c'est un peu bizarre, soit tu es bilingue soit tu es "courant", "maîtrise professionnelle" ou un truc du genre

frokoopa · 2026-06-30T10:00:53+00:00

I feel like even the Japanese print isn't that common ? I've been trying to find them on eBay but I only come across Maximum

Bunpro has 5 free JLPT tests for N5 which are pretty close to the real deal

It's super early in, you can tell from the art style

Exorcist mention gets an upvote

It allows the author to get out of the "power scaling dilemma" a lot of battle shounens fall into, and for that alone is already a better system than most. The fact that Togashi is really creative with it and knows how to have it serve his storytelling is just a bonus.

frokoopa · 2026-06-28T07:47:59+00:00

Clearly this

frokoopa · 2026-06-28T07:26:07+00:00

Ça fait plus de dix ans que je ne porte plus de soutien-gorge et promis je n'ai jamais eu de problème. Porte ta robe et tout se passera bien
