こんにちわ
私の名前はアレクシスです。
よろしくお願いします。Hi guys
I’m Alexis from Singapore. I’m currently studying Japanese at school using Minna no Nihongo.
I have purchased Textfugu quite awhile back I got to a few seasons before I sort of gave up. But now, I am jumping back into the game as it is the holidays and I really want to put in effort to learn the language.
I am planning on using Japanese in MangaLand at the same time and well just tons of other resources.Why am I learning Japanese?
I want to travel around Japan without the need for a tour guide
I want to work with Japanese Designers
I want to have an extra edge/skillI am going to be starting all the way from season 1 again. I would love to have a study buddy on Textfugu.
We can practice with each other and stuff, tell me if you’re interested!Welcome!
So, I went to Japan almost five years ago now, before I started learning Japanese, but I managed just fine without a tour guide. Granted, knowing Japanese might have helped in a few situations, and it quite probably would have enhanced things, but don’t worry too much about your Japanese knowledge holding you back. At least as a tourist, in any case – working with Japanese people might be a different matter. =)

Hello Joel
Thank you for the welcome!
I would like to visit the secluded country sides areas and stuff and learning the culture so it would definitely help to enhance my experience! :)
If one works in Japan how fluent do they need to be? I would assume at least N3 standard?I’ve done N3. Not sure I’d call myself fluent, though that could just be me. =)
From what I’ve heard N2 is about what you would need for most jobs. But keep in mind, the more specific your job gets and the more vocabulary there is specific to that job, there will be higher expectations.
For a slightly better understanding:

Your sort of stuck in the middle, but from my perspective you would be fluent hahah!
But I suppose it depends I have a friend who is really good at speaking Japanese but horrible at writing.From what I’ve heard N2 is about what you would need for most jobs.
