Getting ready for JLPT N2 in December and just life stuff journey

“What if your life has to drastically change in 5 or 6 months?”

Well that is basically what I have to deal with right now … and somehow pass the JLPT N2. There is no drama or anything like that lol.

In short, I am in my late 30s, after university, I contributed to build a company with my co-workers and its time to let it go and do other things (ie find a new money making opportunity (aka a job) lol). Its all good. We all have been making decisions for the last few years to reach this point.

I just thought maybe it would be interesting to read along with my Japanese learning journey.

Hopefully this is a weekly thing. Partially to get me to study more as I have been cruising a bit too much and secondly, it will be interesting to read… In the past there have been some really cool journeys by other members.

There are 97 days or so before the exam!!!

Scary, right? But I feel like I have enough time. I passed the JLPT N3 in December 2022. I do study every day, its just that I think, I should do a bit more haha.

Before the exam, I hope that I will:

  • Read at least 10 light novels
  • Read at least 10 manga volumes
  • Go through 3 books and do practice questions. I have the Kanzen Master books and a few others.
  • Get my sleep in order
  • Clean my to do list for Anki - Currently 1545 words / kanji to add. Its not that bad - there are lots of duplicates
  • Get me morning routine back on track. I used to study in the morning but then I stopped… :man_shrugging:

Anyhow, thanks for reading!

Your story is somewhat similar to mine. Although just a bit different that I ve just passed N3 in this July and ofcourse will attempt N2 in December. You can do it. Just keep your schedule.

You’ve got this! Sometimes periods of drastic change and upheaval lend themselves really well to locking into your goals that might have been ‘side quests’ at one point. You’ll do great!
