Application for JLPT N1 is completed

As the headline says.

It was an easy process to apply for it on the internet, just go this page and register an account. Then the application process is a walk in the park. If you are thinking of taking the test you have to hurry up with the application because the deadline is 1st of May. The fee is 5500 JPY.

Too bad that the Juli test only is given in Japan, China, South Korea and some other Asian countries. All people who wants to do it in Europe have to wait for the December test. And make it possible to take it in Sweden already!

If you don't know what the JLPT is you can read all about it here.

A Small Jump In Time

Uh, I had an awesome spring break and did a lot of breaky things.

Now when that is done, Hello again!

School has started and this semester I will study some Japanese. My plan is to challenge N1 (the highest grade of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test) in July, so I need to review grammar, and practice reading. I did the old version of the JLPT in December 2008, but failed quite badly and have ever since wanted to to it again. I think I'll do better with studying Japanese now when I actually am in Japan again than try to hammer my brain with grammar and stuff in Sweden where it feels kind of pointless.

The weather is getting better every day and the sakura (cherry blossoms) is in full bloom, but sometimes the weather is really acting strange. Two days ago it was snowing! And last week we had 25 degrees! I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked out the window.

SNOW!

I have also practiced reading though manga a bit more lately and I am currently reading the latest released volume of Claymore (do you remember?), volume 23 and it is awesome.

There is also an anime that is airing right now called Shingeki no Kyojin, that is also a recommendation from me to all of you.
