What is the JLPT Japanese-Language Proficiency Test?

The JLPT stands for Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, and it is a test to assess Japanese language proficiency for non-native speakers of Japanese.

There are five levels of JLPT: N1, N2, N3, N4, and N5, and the difficulty level increases as the number decreases.

The test comprehensively measures your Japanese communication skills through the three components of language knowledge, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension.

If you apply for the test and get a passing score or higher, you will be awarded the certification.
