Hung
（HONG KONG・Employee）
I wanted to acquire front-line information and knowledge in Japanese, which is why I decided to study Japanese.
After taking the JPT, I thought that it would be useful as a reference for studying Japanese, as it would be possible to measure the ability of JLPT N1 or higher because the score can express the Japanese ability in more detail.
I want to blend into Japanese society more smoothly, so I will continue to read books and newspapers, watch TV, and actively communicate with people.

I started learning Japanese because I wanted to work in Japan.
I took the JPT because I wanted to measure JLPT N1 and above, and because I thought it would give me an advantage at work. When I actually took the exam, the exam time was just right, and I realized what skills I lacked, such as grammar and reading and writing kanji.

Su
（CHINA・Student）
I started studying Japanese language because of the infection of covid-19.
I took the JPT because I thought it would be advantageous for higher education and work. Compared to other Japanese language proficiency tests, there were more questions on daily use and grammar, and I thought my ability to understand the content of conversations and to respond appropriately to questions was weak.
I think speaking is the most important thing, so from now on I would like to try to speak Japanese as much as possible.

I decided to study Japanese because I wanted to learn about Japanese culture and lifestyle.
The JPT was more difficult than the JLPT because of the large number of kanji. In addition to reading and writing kanji, I found that I lacked other skills in Japanese, such as honorifics and the ability to read sentences.
I am interested and excited about studying Japanese! In the future, I would like to teach in my own country.

CHANG AI-LUEN
（TAIWAN・Student）
Because of the influence from my parents, I started learning Japanese. And I took JPT to measure my Japanese ability above level N1.
Since JPT doesn’t determine whether you pass or fail, there are no feeling of frustration. On the contrary I felt that this time I should study harder and get a higher score. And this time there was a topic about semi-conductor in the reading section of the test, I think I have learned something from it. And I think this test will be advantageous for job hunting in Japan.
From now on, in order to be a connecting bridge between Taiwan and Japan, I would talk more with Japanese to increase my Japanese senses.

S・W
（THAILAND, Housewif）
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.
