My university in my home country has a partner university in Japan, and I was chosen as an exchange student. I passed N2 two years ago, so I have no problem with speaking and reading, but I can’t write even basic kanji from memory. My classes in Japan will also be preparation for N1, so I’m really worried. I’ve tried practicing, but I always forget the radicals or just freeze when someone asks me to write kanji. I’m starting to think I might have some kind of disability.
My grades in Japan will be transferred to my home university. Since I’m a graduating student, I can’t afford to fail. If you’ve recently studied at a Japanese university, what was it like? Did you have to do in-class activities, quizzes, and assignments by hand? Do you think teachers will make allowances for foreigners who can’t write kanji?
