If you can get through the boring, difficult parts, you can make it to the fun part. However, I have seen many people who have given up half-way, so it’s really important to keep pushing yourself. In the end you can understand most everything, which is a really exciting feeling. In the beginning you progress quickly and it’s not so difficult. The beginning and the end of your Japanese studies are the most fun, I think. To all my teachers- thank you!ĭo you have a message for those who are thinking about studying Japanese? I don’t know if we’ll be able to meet again, but I will never forget you. I really appreciate all of the awesome teachers who made classes so much fun.
My two years at Nihongo Center were a very important learning experience. Nihongo Center’s teaching style was very helpful to me.ĭo you have a message for the teachers at Nihongo Center?
Reading in particular is especially important for the JLPT, which we practiced a lot in class. Studying a wide field of topics in Japanese really helped. What aspect of classes at Nihongo Center were useful for passing the JLPT? I personally recommend video games and reading manga. If you do this, you will increase your chance of passing the JLPT. If you’re not enjoying studying, you won’t want to continue, so it is important to make things fun and interesting. If you can make studying enjoyable, it will make passing much easier. What efforts did you make in order to pass the JLPT? Particularly upon passing N1 and N2, since they are needed to enter university or to get a job. I was quite nervous and excited while taking the test. While I was very nervous during each level I took (N3, N2, and N1), I thought it was a great chance to measure my ability. What were your thoughts when taking the JLPT? What was your Japanese level before coming to Japan? Even so, my reading was quite slow, and my grammar was a mess. I could read hiragana, katakana, and about 50 kanji, and could do a basic self-introduction. How long did you study Japanese before coming to Japan? I have lived in Japan for exactly 2 years.īecause I have always had a strong interest in video games and manga, I decided to come here to study Japanese. Interview: Peter Johansson (Student with N1 Certification) Nihongo Center will give our utmost support to students who are trying to achieve high goals.
Passing Level N2 will greatly increase your chances of entering a Japanese technical college.If you are considering using Japanese at your job after returning to your native country, we recommend that you try to pass Level N2 or higher. Obtaining CertificationĪlthough passing the JLPT is more difficult than you might expect, passing Level N1 will greatly increase your chances of entering a Japanese university or graduate school, or obtaining employment at a Japanese corporation. Most universities and work places require you to own at least JLPT N2 certification. The JLPT has 5 levels ranging from N5 (easiest) to N1 (hardest). However, the number of worldwide examines increased to about 770,000 for the 2009 examination, making the JLPT the largest Japanese language examination in the world. A total of approximately 7,000 people from throughout the world took the first-ever JLPT. The JLPT was started in 1984 by the Japan Foundation and the Association of International Education, Japan (currently the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services). The Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT, is a certification examination that verifies the Japanese ability of people whose native language is not Japanese.
