Voice of graduates
Aso Foreign Language Tourism And Patissier College
Japanese Language Course/From Taiwan
- I set a goal, studied hard, and could pass the N1 test!
- It was my first time to study Japanese, which I knew nothing about, but while studying in Japan I was determined to pass the N1 level of the JLPT, so I studied hard. In July the following year I passed N2, then passed N1 in December. For anyone thinking about studying abroad, I would encourage you to set your goals and work hard. It is also valuable to experience the culture and customs of a different country.
