I made this post because I was bored.
N5
Talking: you can order beer and say that it is so expensive.
Writing: You can write 火 and 水 with pride.
Listening: You understand when they tell you that the store does not accept paypay
Read: You can finally read hiragana in anime.
N4
Talking: you can now order hangover medicine and ask for the cheapest one
Writing: finally you can write 機会 on paper
Listening: You already understand that the train will be late and that your date is going to be angry.
Reading: You understand when a bar offers discounts on Wednesdays if you pay with Rakuten.
N3
Talking: you can now have a date with a Japanese person, talk for more than 5 hours and go to a hotel (results vary)
Writing: you think you can write essays because of all the vocabulary and grammar you know, but your teacher uses all of his neurons to understand what you wrote.
Listening: You can now talk to a drunk man and argue against him why he should also bathe in the morning and not just at night
Reading: you understand what the expired electricity bill from a month ago said (please pay it)
N2
Talking: you talk so much that the Japanese fell annoying. To your foreign friends you are Superman, a dictionary with legs or a nerd.
Writing: you can now write a letter or a comment complaining to every company or person that crosses your path.
Listening: you already understand all the procedures of your company and the reason why they don’t like you, but you still don’t understand what your partner tells you when you tell her that you want a harem.
Reading: You can now read katakana like a normal person
N1
talking: You try to speak in the most appropriate way even though you know that you can express your ideas perfectly, but you don’t know how to convince your partner to do 3P with her best friend even if you explain the sociodemographic reasons and the ancient Japanese culture, and not just because she is hot.
Writing: You understood that writing on paper is a pain, now you do everything on your phone and PC and print it.
Listening: you can cook and understand the news on TV saying that the yen is weak and taxes are increasing (OMG)
Read: Grammar? Hiragana? Katakana? Who needs that when you can understand everything with just the kanji. You read VN and LN to improve your language.
N0
Speaking: You speak with grammatical errors that would make your teacher cry, you use a dialect and summarized words, in your work you only speak when you must, that is. you speak like a native
Writing: You haven’t touched a pencil in 5 years but you have thousands of conversations on LINE and Instagram from your friends, and your partner, and their friends.
Listening: Nothing is difficult for you to understand anymore unless it is your partner’s feelings or you move from your prefacture.
Reading:You forgot half the kanji of N1 but you still defend yourself by reading profiles on Tinder and the word 下痢 when you buy medicine.
