Didn't make fun of him, but it is always funny every April when the new university foreign students show up

Was in my local and this Canadian kid rolls in.... he has "300 kanji and is somewhere between JLPT 3 and 2"

300 kanji is what a Japanese 8 year old knows how to read

If you speak #Japanese fluently and learned it to a relatively high degree of fluency outside of Japan, please lemme know.

My son is enrolled in various classes and using various tools, but I would like to (a) know of other/better options and (b) be able to show him others who have reached his goal.
