FREE Japanese Level Test

Evaluate your Japanese foundation with our Beginner Placement Test

Measure your skills for free and discover your current rank within the Beginner levels (A1 Low to A2).

Whether you are just mastering Hiragana or starting to form basic sentences for daily life, this test is the perfect starting point for your study abroad journey in Japan.

Our diagnostic tool is specifically calibrated for students in the early stages of learning, aligning with the JLPT N5 standards and CEFR A1-A2 levels.

How to ensure your Japanese result is 100% accurate

• No outside help: Avoid using dictionaries, translation apps, or AI tools (like ChatGPT). To recommend the right beginner course, we need to understand what you already know.
• Don't guess: If a grammar point or particle (wa, ga, ni) is totally new to you, leave it blank. This helps us identify exactly where your learning gap is.
• Focus on the basics: This test evaluates your grasp of basic sentence structure and essential daily vocabulary. Take your time to read carefully!

What does your result mean? Your first steps in Japan

A1 Low (Introductory): You are at the start of an amazing journey! You are ready for a "First Step" program in Tokyo, where you can learn the basics while exploring the city.

A1 High to A2 (Elementary): You have already mastered the essentials! This is the perfect level to boost your conversational skills in the cultural heart of Kyoto or the friendly streets of Fukuoka.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this test suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes! If you are just starting, this test will help confirm your "A1 Low" status. If you cannot answer any questions yet, don't worry—it means you are ready for a Japanese for Beginners course from scratch.

Does the test require knowledge of Kanji?

At these levels (A1-A2), the focus is primarily on Hiragana, Katakana, and the most basic Kanji. The test is designed to measure your functional grammar and vocabulary.

Can I use this score for a Student Visa?

For a Japanese Student Visa, schools often require a certificate of 150 hours of study. This test is a diagnostic tool to help you reach that goal, but it is not a legal document for immigration.

What if my level is higher than A2?

This test is specifically designed for beginners. If you find it too easy, please contact our advisors so we can provide a more advanced assessment (N3-N1) for your placement.
