I'm learning Japanese and I want to try to go for the JLPT Level 4 test in December. JLPT stands for Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
I've already progressed to the point where I can read hiragana and katakana and a few kanji. This combined with some vocabulary as well. But I still have a long way to go for JLPT Level 4 (which is the lowest level). Level 4 requires you to know hiragana, katakana, about 100 kanji, about 700 words and basic grammar.
So while I'm learning, I might as well post some of it on my blog about the Japanese language, which has its simple and complex sides.
