In December, Tod took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, 2nd level. The test results arrived today - we sat together on the sofa while he carefully peeled back the sheet covering the scores. He passed.
This means that he "has mastered grammar to a relatively high degree, knows around 1,000 kanji and 6,000 words, and has the ability to converse, read, and write about matters of a general nature."
おめでとうございます！Congratulations, Tod! I'm proud of you.
Of course he passed... But the real question is... With what score?
I'm just asking because I would only be mildly surprised to learn that he somehow got 1800 out of 1600...
And congratulations to Todd, you kanji geek you...
Congratulations, Tod!
Kanji geek indeed! Well done! So, is Tod going for 1st level next year?
Good work my boy! That result was obvious from the beginning.
That's excellent! Congratulations!
There was a time I thought I had a good chance of passing that level, but never actually took the test. Now I've forgotten enough that there's no chance. But I know how much hard work it represents.
Very impressive.
おめでとうございます。すごいですね。こんどは、一級めざしてがんばってください。and I'll also try to get high score of TOEIC.
YAY for Tod!! Was there ever any doubt of him passing?
Congratulations, Tod !!!
Wow! You can read chicken footprints!
Having lived with him for his first 18 years, there was never any doubt here! Congratulations, son! --Mom
Yeah, Tod! What an accomplishment.
Wow let's hear it for my favorite oldest nephew. Now you can help me with my chanting my Buddhist in Japanense. I can barely get it out maybe Megan and I will come over for a lesson. Love A Sandy
