Studying for the JLPT N5, Week 1: Rude Awakening
Last Friday, I voluntarily plopped down $100 and decided to take a standardized test. I’m not doing this for any career requirement, and heck, I already got through college so it’s not like I needed some shiny credentials for an admissions application.
