Like in any language, the possible grammar, expressions and so on are endless; but aim for a well-defined test and I know what I need to learn and what I can ignore. <br /><br />That's the main value to me, alongside the "reality check" of knowing how well I do over the years. It's difficult to know if you're progressing without some kind of independent verification.<br />Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-44595819696620234702013-12-06T20:11:28.751+09:002013-12-06T20:11:28.751+09:00Turns out my university has a specific test for ce...Turns out my university has a specific test for certification. Not the "Cambridge official" but an equivalent title, also much cheaper and convenient. I did an orientating test and my level was between the advanced and proficiency. That's it, by January I will take it.<br /><br />Indeed, it's important to know the end of taking certificates. Before I got lost about it because practically, unless bragging I didn't see a practical need or use. <br />Last year, which was the first, many people just talked about how and which certificates they had.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149190626923540076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-67257874056120309502013-12-02T20:30:22.625+09:002013-12-02T20:30:22.625+09:00Well, it certainly already works better in that I ...Well, it certainly already works better in that I get a notification when someone comments now :) I didn't when it was tied to G+.<br /><br />A language test can be a good idea; just be sure you know why you're taking it. I took Japanese level 2 years ago since it's useful, and I'm taking level 1 just to have something to aim for when I study.<br /><br />Judging from your comments here your English seems plenty good enough for an advanced exam, by the way.<br />Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-88473773531158067392013-12-02T19:59:08.511+09:002013-12-02T19:59:08.511+09:00JLPT, a yearly tradition as you said on a previous...JLPT, a yearly tradition as you said on a previous post. I was thinking of how long I've been following the blog. I think since 2010 for sure.<br /><br />Which reminds me that I should take an English certificate test, whether advanced or proficiency.<br />I learnt English "On the field" and didn't bother to get any certification until now. Seemingly it's becoming mandatory for university, so that's it... Next summer might be dedicated for English.<br />I think I might be able to take the advanced exam as it is, without classes. If going for proficiency, that would take more effort.<br /><br />As of comments, let's see if it works better. Anyways, got me back around here and set up the account so I might comment every once in a while.<br />Glad to hear there is Good weather in Osaka.
