We have planned for quite a while now that we would be going out for a meal on Friday night, but we never had a reason other than we felt like it. But now we do...
Yesterday was the results of the Japanese proficiency test that a few of us took back in December. Some people are down at the Leavers` Conference in Tokyo, so don`t know their fate yet, but Mike and I got to read the scary little piece of paper yesterday....and....we both passed!!! Yay!! Mike got a good score and I scraped it by only a few points, but a pass is a pass.
For those of you who don`t know the JLPT, it is a test given once a year that tests foreigners on their language ability. The bottom level is 4, and level 1 is for people with better grammar than the natives. Mike and I took level 2, which I am guessing is about an English A-level. This graph taken from www.mlcjapanese.co.jp gives an idea of what we are supposed to know.
