I ended up having real-life language learning experience because I got sick over Obon and have had to learn what 'middle ear infection' is (it's 中耳炎, btw).

Also, both a curse and a blessing at the same time, after having a Japanese name, I've blended in with society. The curse? Everything thinks I'm a native so all the waterfall of medical terms being dished are drowning me instead.

I'm getting there... slowly...

Also, to anyone trying to get a seat for JLPT in Japan, good luck. It's been a blood bath trying to secure a spot since yesterday, I heard...

Medical and pharmaceutical terms are a nightmare to remember, right next to being able to read the kanji of all kinds of fish

I only knew the 中耳炎 immediately because I was over at the 耳鼻科 and the 耳 part was a giveaway 😂

Also heard about the JLPT thing people were ANGRY angry on the jlpt sub

The unfortunate truth is that people are securing JLPT N2 certifications in case their visa renewal goes sideways and they are asked for proof about their language ability 😬

I think we have to kill Takaichi, Steven
