Step 1: Japanese placement test
Start here!
Select the level check test that best matches your ability level, and complete the test.
If you are a complete beginner student, you don't need to take the test - however, you must learn the hiragana alphabet before starting your study with us.
If the test you select is too easy or too hard, please feel free to switch to a different test partway through. In addition, if the results of your test are very good or very bad, we may ask you to take retake a harder or easier test.
Then, if necessary, follow the next steps to complete your application.
