2019 Japanese Oral
Hiea:
ORAL EXAM IS GONE
STUDY SCORE ALSO GONE
In all seriousness, it went about as well as I could've realistically expected. There were a few questions that I hadn't prepared for ("Don't you need to go to a Japanese university to get a diploma in Japanese?", to which I internally screamed because Open Day told me nothing about that and I had to improv it to hell and back), and they cut me off a little in my DS, but overall, it was pretty good.
Good luck to everyone yet to do it, and good work to everyone who's finished! Let's reconvene when the written exam comes by ;D

Whoa!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Finally it's all over! Burn your cards and smash down a tinny or two xx
To be asked something like that, it sounds like you would have been at a pretty high level! It sounds like you have done really well. I wouldn't worry all that much about being cut off. If anything it probably allowed you to talk about more. Sounds very very positive!
Yay to everyone!!! Good luck studying for the written

Also finished my oral today! Went pretty well but I know for sure I messed up 2 words because I couldn’t find the right word. The examiner was like what are the differences between the Japanese school you attended and your current school and I said 特別なスリッパをwrong verbなければならなかったことです and also used the wrong verb for running a self made company (my host fathers job). Oh well, other than that my examiners seemed quite nice and interested in what I was saying. Glad it’s over though.

Oh phew, is that so? That makes me feel a lot better. It sounds a lot more legitimate than my "well, at least now they know I haven't just rote-learned everything and mark me down for it, maybe" self-comforting thoughts. I gotta say though, deleting all those tabs I used for DS is so gratifying. I can finally read the titles of the pages I have open again. Too bad all my notes were digital. Paper cards could have made some great uh... study material for combustion reactions for chem. Yeah. That.
If you don't mind though, do you have any quick tips for studying the written exam? I'll definitely, definitely make use of them right away instead of procrastinating until the 19th. Yes.

Right? They're so kind! Did you happen to be at The Tudor in Box Hill as well? Because if so, we might've seen each other ;D I was the shifty-looking guy wearing the Uniqlo sweater with the Great Wave of Kanagawa on it. Got worried that they might make me take it off because it had kanji on it which I could've theoretically used as stimulus material, according to my friend, hahaha.
By the way, weirdly enough, all the native speakers I know ended up with a non-native white assessor. Ironic.

Yeah same! Maybe, I was at like 12 and was in room 5. I had one non native and one native examiner too. Surprisingly the non native examiner spoke with greater clarity and it was a bit difficult to gauge what they were saying. Like for example they asked something like オーストラリアの高校と日本の高校、どこ違うの and I was like what?
Edit: was I meant to respond with the Japanese school is in Tokyo and the Australian one is in Melbourne or something lol because I went with the more logical explaining differences route
