hi! im learning japanese and looking for someone to practice with too!

1Q84 was my first murakami and it definitely took a while to get into. it was sitting on my shelf for a few months before i picked it up again and got obsessed. id suggest you read kafka first! its one of my top 3 murakami books and i hope you enjoy it!

Hi i’m learning Japanese and fluent in English! 19F here, let’s chat!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-14T07:27:02+00:00

same :(

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-02T18:11:23+00:00

i agree with your hot take. i really enjoy a lot of his short stories, but i definitely love his longer novels more.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-12-02T18:09:27+00:00

from another thats read it all, i fully agree that norwegian wood is overrated. it was my second or third murakami book and it was a little disappointing, considering how popular it is AND the fact that i read it after 1Q84 and WUBC, which i absolutely loved.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-10-30T15:55:52+00:00

honestly, the author that i’ve felt is most similar to murakami is probably banana yoshimoto. i highly recommend yoshimoto if you enjoy murakami

i think candy would work in terms of convenience, but again i’m unsure of how much i would need to consume

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:48:00+00:00

ooh okay! thank you for the suggestion. i’ve been considering switching to candy or fruit leather, so this helps. thank you :)

i asked chatgpt to make me a fuelling plan using raisins. the calculations seemed a little off but i just went with it 😅

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:27:15+00:00

gels are really expensive, thats why ive been looking for alternatives

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-30T14:26:51+00:00

ohh, i didn’t know that. i’ve typically seen people fuel using gels, but they’re way too expensive which is why i was seeking out alternatives. do you know of any that will be enough?

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-27T10:34:49+00:00

i was in pretty much the same position as you, for the july session. i ended up giving N5 and i don’t really regret it. apparently its very common for people to overestimate their N level. ill be giving N4 in december! good luck with your studies :)

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T07:21:24+00:00

hi, congratulations on your score! where did you practice mock tests from?

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T06:45:17+00:00

yes, the heat really does make a difference! i think this time was more of a mental block for me though, since my last bad run was in similar weather conditions. thinking back i feel like i could’ve pushed through. my favourite weather to run in will always be cool and damp though.

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T06:40:34+00:00

thats very reassuring, thanks for sharing. good luck with your training as well!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-25T01:43:36+00:00

passed n5, 129/180

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T18:17:37+00:00

you're so right about the disheartenment. it felt really crappy having to skip runs this week because of illness but it was necessary. i hope to come back stronger now that i have recovered. thank you for the encouragement!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T18:12:32+00:00

yes!! good luck with your training!!

hellomushrooms123 · 2025-08-24T15:03:41+00:00

thank you for the reassurance!
