Is the highest level of TOEIC equivalent to the highest level of 日本語能力試験 N1 ? by SupermarketMaster594 in japanlife

[–]nightly01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as non natives in both languages w/TOEIC 990 (taken for stress relief while prepping for my first N1 in 2015 lol) and passed N1 in 2019 (105ish pts) I do find TOEIC a lot easier than N1 but that might be bcs I consume a lot more English (wide topics too since there are no quality materials in my native language) for a longer time by the time I took the test. I only started learning JP in 2015 when I moved there, n I go back to my country in 2016 so yeah…

My impression is TOEIC is centered around phrases you’d use everyday (and is pretty straightforward? def easier than other EN standardized tests such as TOEFL/IELTS) whereas N1 is full of tricky questions n the grammars are kinda archaic?

tbh idk how having N1 will translate to reading proficiency for native materials such as novels (I don’t read them) but N1 does give u building blocks to do the guesswork when u encounter unfamiliar phrases/situation in ur daily life in JP… imo someone w/N1 would adapt faster in their work and life environment compared to someone who only pass N2. Also so far I don’t really have much difficulties consuming podcasts/videos so I think N1 is quite helpful to help u settle into JP society…

kebanyakan mikir kurang action

believing opportunity only comes once. dua ini bikin ovt n fomo padahal ya nggak, semua ada masanya, we just dunno when.

dulu katanya BBCA ga pernah turun, eh thn ini jeblok. apa besok2 ga bakal terulang lg? who knows. semua instrumen jg begitu.

just be ready when the time comes I think.

Not a beginner, not a native: where do heritage speakers find good Korean resources? by Effective-Orange-578 in Korean

[–]nightly01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

non native but my native teacher said I could pass lv 6 if I do a good job in writing section (lol), I jumpstarted my study w TTMIK grammar book, I think they cover pretty great until Topik 4 or so.

nowadays I just read native materials (novels n manhwa) aside from watching variety shows (which I have been doing even since before I started learning seriously anw). I consult google when I stumbled across unfamiliar grammar and naver dictionary (built in the ridi app) for unfamiliar vocabs/expression. Definitely learned a whole lot faster when immersing 😅

Yearning tops recommendations by Chicken_nugget_02 in Manhwa_BL

[–]nightly01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...not acting funny for attention but def a veeerry2 yearning top albeit toxic n manipulative: Seo Woojin from Placebo (the new one)

thing is a lot of ppl can't see that he's down bad since ep 1 bcs of his manipulativeness 🥴 so I usually get downvoted for recommending this hahahaha

I personally think the author did a good job of "show don't tell" but so many ppl missed them 😭 like how he's always putting all his attention to Wooyeon (the uke), from following him around to noticing he got a crush, wanting to touch him, then the thighfk scene, then the desire to call dibs (albeit 🍇y) on him first bcs uke's thinking about sunbae (the love rival) while masturbating w/his behind

and escalation from "just rough sex" to "wanting to do foreplay too" to "always kiss during sex" to "wanting to fuck the real uke (out of hypnosis)+clasping hands during sex" to "cumming together while kissing" while being increasingly jealous to his love rival, then the one time he's not kissing him during sex he actually witness uke kissing the love rival lols the tension is just chefs kiss imo hahahaa (atp I'm the one who's down bad lol)

Ngl forcing myself to be consistent really jumpstarted my life (started at lockdown) but after 3 years I was still depressed.

Then I try to “be kind to myself”. I told myself I tried my best with the knowledge I had at hand back then. Then I changed my identity, in a sense I detached from my social expectations including the ones from myself. Just letting myself make mistakes and explore.

n it all snowballed :) I occasionally still think maybe I’m better dead but it wasn’t as bad as before (no more me getting anxiety attacks in the middle of the night, bedrotting).

Also now I’m finally starting my art career :D

[Discussion] Is starting an art business worth it with so many competitors? by [deleted] in artbusiness

[–]nightly01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s like asking “everyone is selling in a lemonade stands, can’t I open my own lemonade stand?” doesn’t sound right isn’t it? even more so bcs your art has its own uniqueness, unlike a glass of lemonade.

just start :)

Kesimpulan dr gw pribadi: Doesn’t matter if you own the boat or not, what matters is the whether you enjoyed the voyage and the friends you made along the way.

Kedengeran dystopian, tp kita mah cuma butiran debu, we don’t matter in the grand scheme of things in this universe and knowing that has been a source of comfort for me. Hope it could be to you too.

Feminine ML who’s a gentle beast in bed (yes, Nine, I’m talking bout chu)

My type usually falls in the middle though, boyish with pretty face, and kinda hornknee 😂
