Lived in Japan for longer than I'd like to admit, given that my Japanese isn't where it should be given the time here.

Almost certainly failed the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) Level N1 in December of 2011. Doh! But I'm planning to keep on trucking and study right through until summer of 2012 in hopes of redemption.

Must... pass... test...

I'm strongest in reading, and weakest in speaking. I can never express my thoughts accurately enough or fast enough.

I also have a lot of bad habits when it comes to grammar, having gone for so long without proper study. Japanese is not a language learned by osmosis. I'm hoping to stamp those quirks out by asking questions here.
