Sunuwar Santosh
（NEPAL・Student）
I started studying Japanese because of Japanese anime.
I took the JPT because I thought it would be an advantage at work because I could measure JLPT N1 or higher. Okayama, where I live, was the venue, so it was convenient. After actually taking it, I thought it would be helpful for me to learn Japanese, and I liked that it was easier to take than the JLPT. Also, I felt that I lacked the ability to understand the contents of conversations and the ability to read sentences, so I will continue to study Japanese harder than before.
In the future, I want to study automobiles in Japan and become an engineer.

At first I started learning Japanese because my mother forced me to. But as time goes, learning Japanese gets more and more interesting, so I continued learning it.
I took JPT because I felt that it would be a great advantage since my goal is to work in Japan. The good point of JPT is that the result of the test is not determined by passing or not passing, instead they use scoring method, and by looking at the score, each individual can know which level to take if they think of taking JLPT. JPT is not a test to show that you can if you memorize, but they measure a person’s communication ability.
And I want to improve my Japanese skill by speaking, and reading more.
