Small Win: Cleared N5 Practice Test

Bunpro
#1

I want to share a small win today with everyone since I am on this journey solo. I tried the N5 practice test that Bunpro released and I cleared it!
I was doing it at 1am because I could not fall asleep and I wanted some validation for all the work I had been putting in. I was fully prepared to not clear it and try it again later but was pleasantly surprised. I feel so proud of myself because my effort has translated into results (?)
I have a long way to go before I consider all course of N5 done though. I haven’t finished all the vocabulary and I certainly need more practice for grammar so I am going to keep at it and aim for a better score. :slight_smile:

Sounds more like a big win to me! You reached a measurable milestone through hard work. Not something that just happens overnight. I hope that good feeling motivates you to keep going.

What’s your favourite seaweed?

Thank you for your wishes!

@BreadmanNin seaweed meets breadman haha. I think I am more of a classic nori sheet. What about your favourite bread?
It does motivate me to keep going. I don’t know why I completely discredited the fact that I had to put work in to reach this level. Reading your comment reminded me that I have worked for it so thank you so so much for your comment :relaxed:

Nori is great.

For a while now, I’ve been on a white sourdough bread high.

Don’t sell yourself short. N5 and N4 are the foundation of everything else. It means you’ve gone from knowing nothing to something.

I found it extremely rewarding when I passed N5, as it was proof to me that I CAN learn a second language

Nothing but supportive comments! It never ceases to amaze me how friendly everyone is here. We really have the best users! :partying_face:

As everyone has already said, definitely do not sell yourself short! When you first start learning Japanese, everything feels so intimidating, and getting to the end of N5 takes a lot of work and dedication!
