ALT Teacher Laurence's June Blog Post!
Hello everyone, Jet teacher Laurence here.
For me, June has been all about getting as much studying done as I can before the JLPT test in early July! What is the JLPT? JLPT is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. To get certain jobs in or outside of Japan, you need to show how well you know Japanese. The best way to do that is to show your JLPT certificate.
The proficiency levels are from N1 to N5. Each level has a different test attached to it. N1 is the best grade you can have. Personally, I signed up for the N3 test. It’s my first time taking the JLPT and I’m very nervous about the results.
The test takes place only twice a year, so you if you fail the test once, you should try to get ready for the next test as soon as you can.
We won’t get the results until September, but I plan on studying this summer for both my current and for the next level, the N2.
Wish me good luck!!
Laurence
