What is the JLPT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is the JLPT? The JLPT, also known as the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test or \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u80fd\u529b\u8a66\u9a13, is an exam designed to measure the Japanese proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. It\u2019s commonly used by universities and employers both in and outside Japan, and it\u2019s offered twice a year within Japan, as well as in a few other countries. Those who plan on living, working, or studying in Japan often take the JLPT exams to demonstrate their Japanese language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the levels for the JLPT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are five different levels of the JLPT: N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5, with N5 being the most basic and N1 being the most advanced. The N4 and N5 levels test basic Japanese learned from a textbook, while N1 and N2 are much more advanced and test takers can usually hold their own in the language by that point. The N3 level is somewhere in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should I take the JLPT N4?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For those seeking employment in Japan, JLPT scores can be quite useful. Many jobs require N2 level minimum. Passing the N2 or N1 levels can even qualify individuals for preferential treatment when immigrating to Japan, or get you noticed by a potential employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

While not so useful for employment, the N4 Exam can still be a valuable goal for Japanese learners. It can serve as a short-term target and help learners discover their strengths and weaknesses. If you can pass N4, you can get by in this country. You have the basic skills to have conversations, go to clinics, talk to teachers, and so on. You won\u2019t be perfect and you won\u2019t have a full vocabulary, but you can get by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
