I passed the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test – level 1!

I just wanted to share that :). It’s not so often I have great news to share, but this one is pretty important to me, as it’s a highly valued certificate for finding proper work in Japan.

I wrote all about it on my blog, should anyone care to browse:

Still got a way to go before fluency, but it’s a step in the right direction at least!

イエーイ！マイケルさんおめでとう！やったね、やったね！

Sweeeet! This is huge, congrats!

Congratulations. I wish the next one will be for finding a job in Japan!!

Awww! This really is a great achievment. My institute also has 85 percent of students who passed JLPT 1. I have just started learning and planning to directly take JLPT 3 by Dec this year.
omedetou gozaimasu! yoku dekimashita!!

Yipee!!! Congrats! That’s an awesome accomplishment! Hard work pays off!

Well, congratulations!

I passed JPLT1 too. 317/400. I got 90 points from the listening section, but reading & grammar went pretty poorly. I might take it again when they raise the difficulty level in 2010(if my memory serves me correctly).

So, what are you planning to do next? 漢検？

wait they are going to raise the difficulty? do you know what the new expectations will be?

Congoratulations Michael. Go on to achieve your fluency and your dream of getting work in Japan. Good luck.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!!! I’m so happy for you!!!

@Jeff, yea, they are.

Should be quite interesting.

Wow, congratulations! I hope I’ll be able to make it one day, too :-)

Thanks everyone! Congratulations to you too Sampo! ^^

I think the main revision to the JLPT tests is the introduction of an extra level between 2 kyuu and 3 kyuu. 1 kyuu will be marginally more difficult apparently.

Whoa! :o Congrats! that ish amazing! 8D

That is fantastic news Michael! Congratulations!!

Congratulations! That’s pretty impressive!

Well done Michael!!!!!! :D

OMG!!…You’re great!…:)
