I think its true but not 100% certain, to work in Japan you have to have a level 2 in Japanese proficiency test. Is there a way to test on what level you're on, online or is there an alternative?
you may try to ask Embassy of Japan in your country normally, theyll hold a test (Japanese Proficiency Test) twice in a year,normally, in June and December. i took Lv.3 in my country and Lv.1 in Japan. For Lv.3, you need to get 240 (60%) out of 400 pts to pass the exam but for Lv. 1, it gonna be 280 (70%) pts. if u wanna get better result, go to kinokuniya (紀伊国屋) or any other large-scaled book stores. there you can find some references. normally, just around $10 per book but for all four sessions (hearing, reading, chinese characters, grammar), itll cost you more than you can imagine good luck!
Any good suggestion/guide to pass Level 2 JLPT? I took few times but I still failed. I desperately need help.
have u learned the basic hiragana katakana system? if so then move up to basic kanji. its all about the vocab.
