New milestone in my Japanese Kanji study: I've been able to reach a perfect score on all first eight levels (among ten) at once !!!!! 400 reading/writing quizz from a set of 1608 kanjis.
Ahead of schedule for #jlpt N1, it gives me nine days to review other sections which I intended to leave out for this session. I still don't hope I can pass it this time but that increases the chance for a lucky miracle, and keep me ahead for the next session in December.
For now, I probably deserve a lazy and self indulging rest of the day, right ? Too bad the weather is awful but let's try to positive anyway for once !
