N2 is like the proficiency you need in a professional setting lol
Seems like N2 is essentially fluent in both reading and writing as well as conversation.
I refuse to believe you can become that fluent from watching porno because otherwise it has implications for how dumb I am
I just want to imagine the porno has really intricate plots about salarymen and OLs or something
Even then, N2 seems hard to get. Wikipedia says only like 1 in 5 people pass the test. Bro must have been taking notes lol
N2 is a pretty remarkable accomplishment fr
It probably says more about the methods you are using. Mass amounts of input are the best way to learn a language, so if you're doing something else, like textbooks, it's going to take you a lot longer.
Ahem
IIRC for N2 you only need to know around half of the regular use kanji, and even passing N1 doesn't necessarily mean that you can hold a conversation in Japanese.
