Japan's plan to link permanent residency with language and daily‑life requirements will shape whether foreign residents are genuinely included in society or pushed out by rigid, exclusionary standards. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/11/world/permanent-residency-language-rules/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #immigration #language #jlpt #permanentresidency

Contacted the #ADA information line today. I'm interested in taking the #JLPT, but the American JLPT administration is trying to tell me that HQ would likely turn down my request to have someone read the test and write my answers. Considering this is a reasonable accommodation and that I'd be taking the test in person in the U.S., I feel like I have a case here. At this point, I've had several issues trying to access some of their materials due to accessibility issues, so I'm frustrated. #Blind

Как надо и не надо искать IT-работу в Японии

Как искать работу в Японии: где смотреть вакансии, как составлять резюме, общаться с рекрутёрами и готовиться к собеседованиям. Я закончил языковую школу в Японии, прошёл около 30 интервью онлайн и офлайн, но в итоге вернулся в Россию ещё до окончания визы. Собрал практические советы и выводы из собственного опыта поиска работы в японских и международных компаниях. Надеюсь, это поможет кому-то найти работу в стране своей мечты и убережёт от лишних ошибок.

#jlpt done. Not confident at all about the result, but I surely did what I could. It felt like the simulations I did: if I've passed it it will be the listening section which have saved the day. Results available at the end of August. Alea iacta est !

I did another simulation of #jlpt today and passed it with 62%. Strong on the reading and listening section, not great on the vocabulary and grammar ones. I feel like I'm going to need a bit of luck Sunday as it will depend on how much of the Kanji I haven't studied yet will show up. Only one fifth remaining, but that's most of those the N1 is about. Also praying for a good sleep the night before, but not hoping much...

I have done 4 full test exams now ready for next weeks N4 exam.

I was going to squeeze in one more over several days but as I sailed through today’s one I’m inclined to just revel in the victory and repeatedly drill my mistakes for the next week instead.

What do you think?

New milestone in my Japanese Kanji study: I've been able to reach a perfect score on all first eight levels (among ten) at once !!!!! 400 reading/writing quizz from a set of 1608 kanjis.
Ahead of schedule for #jlpt N1, it gives me nine days to review other sections which I intended to leave out for this session. I still don't hope I can pass it this time but that increases the chance for a lucky miracle, and keep me ahead for the next session in December.
For now, I probably deserve a lazy and self indulging rest of the day, right ? Too bad the weather is awful but let's try to positive anyway for once !

I have a question about the next #jlpt session. I've registered in March for July 5th session, double checked today that all my details are correct, but still haven't received my 受験票. Is that normal. If you have registered have you already received yours ?
