Japanese Language Proficiency Test Results

[dr4b]

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Writing-Vocab: 80/100
Listening: 59/100
Reading-Grammar: 136/200
Total: 275/400

(you need 240/400 to pass - believe it or not, most people who take the test fail... it is REALLY hard)

Wow! So now I have a certificate saying that the Japanese government recognizes that I knew enough Japanese to pass the level 3 proficiency test. Whee!

Dammit, where is Carl... I owe him a lunch.
note ten minutes later: Carl also passed! he passed the harder level than me, with an even higher percentage. yay!

You know, Seattle has a large Japanese population. We also have a very large Japanese contingent in our baseball team, a sister city in Japan, and a lot of Japanese business connections. Seems like Seattle might be a good place to look for a job that needs Japanese language skills.

We also have a world class university (according to the web page, anyway), and lots of high tech.

hint hint hint.
