I’ve studied Japanese language for 2 years. It all started as a hobby to spend 3 hours per week with friends on Sunday afternoon. As time went by, my friends gave up but I still take more advanced class. Japanese Language Proficiency Test consists of 4 levels – level 4 is the most basic and level 1 is the most advanced. The test is held only once a year. Last year I passed JLPT Level 3. This year I took JLPT level 2 but the result hasn’t been announced yet. I hope I pass the test and I will be able to study more for JLPT Level 1 next year.
