Filipinos by the Numbers: How Many Take and Pass Japanese Tests?

Over the past decade, more opportunities have become available for Filipinos who are aspiring to work in Japan. Thus, there has been an increase in the number of Filipinos taking Japanese language tests as a prerequisite for employment.

There are many other reasons why learning Japanese has become more popular for Filipinos in recent years. If you are one of them, have you ever wondered how many Filipinos take official Japanese language tests? And what is the likelihood of passing?

In this short article, we’ll explore a little bit about the current situation of Japanese language education in the Philippines, particularly in the context of Japanese language tests.

What Does It Feel Like to Study at NCF? Part 2: Intermediate Japanese

Intermediate Japanese has been an exciting and challenging phase of my Japanese language study. I was strongly motivated to finally venture out of basic Japanese (JLPT N4), and I began to actually feel my progress in Japanese the more I studied intermediate material.

If you are looking to improve your Japanese language skill beyond the basic level, consider enrolling at Nihongo Center Foundation (NCF). It is one of the few institutions in the Philippines that offer higher-level Japanese classes.

In this personal blog post, I will talk about my experience studying intermediate Japanese at a top-tier language institute. I will also provide key information such as:

The course content and coverage of Intermediate 1 to 6;
The comparison of the scope with the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT); and
The learning experience under a one-on-one tutorial with a native Japanese instructor.
