Hi Joel! Yeah, I’ll have to remember the listening aspect of it. To be honest I don’t plan to take the JLPT again until I’m confident I could do N3 at least, which might take several years. I’m not going to rush things this time like I did before. I think I’ve learned the value of doing things “the hard way”.

I’m now with another company, this time a locally-owned one that doesn’t have any Japanese clients. This means I have less opportunities to practice at work. On the bright side, I no longer feel pressured about learning Japanese just to get promoted.

I have an EtoEto login. I probably should make more use of it…

Oh, may I ask what’s keeping you from using it more? Have they not ported all the TextFugu content there yet or something? Is it still too buggy?

Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Have a great day!
