Fugokaku (Fail)

We received the results of our Nihongo Shiken - the test we wrote in December. And, as we had pretty much expected, neither of us passed.

We are not crushed by any means - we are merely resolved to actually study for the next test, which will be in July.

The JLPT is actually changing a little in July as a new level will be added, called N3. Previously (as when we wrote the test in December), there were four levels - 1 through 4, with four being the easiest and one the toughest. However, there is a large gap between levels three and two, so in this new structure, the N3 is meant to bridge that gap.

Now we have to decide whether to write N3 or N2...

Hey Tracy, that's too bad - it was tough. I am a happy man today though...but I gave up a lot last Autumn for that damned test.

Hey Tracy, commiserations. It was a tough test.

I'm a happy man today though, but I gave up a heck of a lot last Autumn for that damned test - glad it was worth it.

It's about time they added that other in between level. Hmm, it's a big decision, though, isn't it? How close did you come to passing the one you just took?
