You brought me to this youtube channel. I did not know he was your finacè. Anyways, I subscribed to his RUclips Channel.
@@williamjames4031 finacè? He's her husband lol
Congratulations!! I remember when you were just starting studying Japanese, you've learned so fast :D
Thanks for taking that hit for us, man. I didn't know about this.
When in doubt C! Best of luck with the job hunt. Congratulations!
I continually miss the deadline to take the JLPT so I'm gonna check this test out - thanks! I'm in Osaka
Good luck!
@@AB-jp2eb it is lol but I still forget somehow
Really felt your trauma during the video but so glad you passed with a score you’re happy with! 🎉
I'm glad I could convey the emotional trauma I felt during the test. It was rough.
The JPT sounds crazy crazy fast. Your poor eyes, hahaha. Congratulations, Boomer! Thanks for sharing all this information with us too :)!
Congratulations, it took you 3 years woow, wooow, I am just shocked and amazed. Especially, the kanjis are the most difficult one. I immediately subscribed to your RUclips Channel.
Wow! Congratulation Bro! I just saw the vid yesterday where Roreta was testing you, and now I’m surprised you passed the N2. Well done👏🏻 proud of you.
Nice work, Boomer! We are so happy for you. It sounds like the JPT is a stress test that could make it easier for you on the JLPT (hopefully). Nippori sounds exciting-- close to Yanaka Ginza, so I hope some good street food will be on offer, but there hasn't been much coverage of the east side of the station. Looking forward to your explorations!
Congrats! I look forward for your next video, I've lived in Nippori for 6 months (and went through the corona situation there) and I really liked it, I hope you'll also enjoy this neighbourhood!
WHAT HAPPENED lol I left for what, maybe a year or two, and I come back and Boomer speaks Japanese?! Good for him but OMG it was just yesterday when he was just trying to understand Loretta what happeneeeeeeeddddd
Congrats! And my gosh that test sounds insanely stressful x'D But you made it through! GG ^^
Thank you for this!!! I had been seeing ads for the JPT and was really curious!
I'm really encouraged that you, who are about my same age, were able to learn so quickly. Sometimes I have felt like it would be simply impossible to become fluent, but I'm still working on it! So thank you for giving me hope! Do you feel competent and comfortable when speaking with native Japanese speakers?
Congrats man, let us know in the future if it came in handy or was is just a waste of time and money cuz im kinda curious how the companies look at JPT.
I have given JPT twice and going to attempt again for the third time hoping to get an N2 level score!
I would recommend to buy the JPT guidebook which costs 1100yen. It just contains 1 test paper with answers and explanation as well.. I found it really useful...
Also, Congratulations to you!!!
A very useful video too :)
Jpt test book which
@@Powersofnature354 You can order it from the official website of JPT
Congratulations, Boomer!!!! It is so great!!!
JLPT Evil(er) Version. Wow. Congratulations for getting through that. Very helpful advice! You remember it in detail!
Congrats! I really didn't know about the JPT...It seems like it was worth if to prepare for the actual JLPT... Good luck with the JLPT N2 results!!!! (assuming that you took the test).
It definitely helped boost my confidence! I took the JLPT N2 last weekend and it wasn't too terrible so I think I did ok.
@@boomlore73 Mate, your progress in Japanese is really impressive. Good luck with the results and happy holidays!
my cousin also works in japan at works application,tokyo ( he is indian) and don't know even little bit of japanese but thanks to his manager he don't have to worry about it...
Great Video... Love from India❤️
Thanks for the video, I'm taking mu JPT in a few weeks =)
I'm a Japanese teacher so I know how hard it is. Congratulations!
合格おめでとうございます！これからもJLPTＮ１に受かれますように！祈
おめでとうございます、がんばりましたね。ロレッタも大喜びでしょうね。
actually just took jlpt n2 last sunday. Probably failed, forgot to bring a wristwatch, the feeling of absolute terror when you have 10 questions unanswered and it just says the exam is over. I mean, thats what i get for going into jlpt n2 with 3 months of study...
I took the N2 on Sunday too. It was less painful than my last N2 test, but I don't know if I passed.
Congrats beautiful man 😍👏🎉🎉💐🧑
I feel proficiency tests in any language are created more to test your mettle than your knoledge of the language.
I've given four (for two different languages) in my life up to now and I don't look forward to the next few ones. But there's no avoiding them: I want a decent one (at least B2) for Spanish and - yeah, I dream big - I want the JLPT N1. This latter will take years, I'm afraid, but I have time - I hope.
Good luck with N1. Once I get N2 I'm going to take a break for while
That was really informative, and I'm so glad you did well! Gosh, though, you learned Japanese so fast it gives me hope. Even if it took me twice as long as it took you, I would still consider that super fast. I am amazed!
Yoooo I studied so hard for that December JLPT 'cause like you said I was planning on getting a job starting in April and I was like- if I don't get this- I'll have to wait a whole other year- and that cannot happen lol
I studied really hard too! I hope you did well!
@@boomlore73 Thank you so much! And congrats to you as well! I actually passed you finally glad to get that out of my life! lol これからも勉強頑張っていきましょう！
I'm surprised they haven't adopted proctored online exams like so many certification agencies (e.g. in the IT area) have done. With proper oversight, cheating is arguably no more of less of a problem.
Me too! I would really love if you could just go to a testing center and take the exam/do an online proctored exam instead of having to wait for a specific date.
I’ll take it if someday I could go to Japan 🇯🇵💜
These reasons are kind of why I never really cared about the jlpt in the first place. Imo there are much better ways to actually study for living in japan and interacting than drilling and doing cram school style methods, by the end of which it’s hoped that you’ll even remember a fraction of what you just experienced (note I said experienced. Not studied but experienced given that it’s so unnatural). Maybe I just despise tests and exams. Idk.
Congrats! 🎉🎊🍾
Hi Boomer! Congratulations on passing the N2 level for JPT. I was wondering if you had to compare your testing experience between the JLPT and the JPT, which test provided a better experience. Personally, I do not like having the difficult sections appear at the beginning of a standardized test because I think it becomes overwhelming and I may lose the confidence I need for the remaining of the test. Also, do you recommend taking the JPT if you are planning to wait until July 2021 to take the JLPT?
The JPT questions go from easy to hard in each section, so at the end of each section there are going to be questions you won't know. I'd say the JPT was a much more stressful experience for as the pace was a lot faster. There is almost no time to think and time management is really important for the reading section.
@@boomlore73 Thanks for the message. Since the JPT begins with the Speaking section followed by the Reading. Those sections were the most difficult for me on the JLPT. Last year, I passed the JLPT N3, however I struggled with the Reading section.
... my sensei told me to take the JPT since I plan to get a job after graduating language school. I was aware that it's similar to TOEIC.
English is my first language but since I'm from Malaysia, I had to sit for TOEIC. It was STRESSFUL. 200 questions in 2 hours.
Imagine taking JPT. 🥴
I'll just stick with JLPT. 😭
I would take it if I were you. I scored within the JLPT N2 range on the JPT and then failed the JLPT N2 a few months later. It's good to have both if you can afford it.
Well done mate. Very informative and your raw honesty is very refreshing.
Congratulations, Boomer! That test sounds like a nightmare. Be honest though. Which was worse? Was it the test or the conbini pay?
Why was this video not done in Japanese? I am soooo Kiddding LOL. Congratulations on passing! Hope you treat yourself well after such hard work. Thank you guys for sharing those tips and insights.
Wow that’s amazing!!!!
CONGRATS!
hey, i know you mentioned in the video that companies won't hire you unless you speak Japanese. I used to live in Japan and I want those aspiring move over there to know that there jobs that will hire you with no- or a low-level of Japanese. I've interviewed for them before and I know people who have as well. They're not that common but they're out there! (and this does not include teaching jobs :) )
Most of the jobs I've seen with low level speaking Japanese speaking requirements either require an in demand skill (programming, graphic design, etc) or a lot of experience in your field. So I'd say Japanese speaking ability is still pretty necessary unless you are bringing something else of value to the table.
@@boomlore73 I guess we've had different experiences. I wish you all the best :)
Congrats!
I'm taking it in Fukuoka tomorrow! Ahhhhhhh!
Good luck! Remember be fast!
おめでとう㊗️！
Congratulations Boomer!!!
How bout doing the kanji kentei? I wonder how useful this 1 is in the job market.
I'm guessing it wouldn't be that useful unless you wanted to be in the translation field.
congrats been watch your videos wow your Japanese is so far. Do you think living in Japan made a difference in learning.
I’m taking N2 this year but isn’t the result come out at Jan next yr?
It takes about a month and a half to get your results. If you take the test in December you get your results in the middle of January.
he probably took it during august or something, there's 2 dates per year for jlpt
@@lyhthegreat This year only once cause due to the Pendemic
@@duckyducky8912 oh...then how is he getting his results so soon? lol.
Congratulations Boomer 👊🏾 good luck on your future adventures
Didn't realize JLPT and JPT were separate
L says you can't wear a smart watch for the test. Did they inspect your watch before the test?
I don't have a smart watch but they did tell someone who had a smart watch he couldn't wear it during the test.
B, what level class were you in before taking the JLPT2? Ranking from beginner (1) to advanced (4), would you say you were a 3? I'm 3 going to 4 this fall, and I'm considering preparing for the test during the summer break.
Nice job! I remember one of the earlier vids where KemushiChan was quizzing you, so that's a really impressive accomplishment. Wish you the best with the job hunt.
I barely passed N3 in 2017. I've just been grinding through general Intermediate studies since then. While I've kinda aimed at taking N2 December 2021, I'm actually on the fence over whether or not to give N3 another shot, so I can feel more comfortable with my grasp of the info. I think I will continue to study material from both tests and see how much of it I'm comfortable with come test time. My big weak point is kanji and (to a lesser extent) vocabulary. I guess even if I don't finish the N2 material, any JLPT experience will help.
I took the jtest last month and I also felt very rushed lol it was so hard but a good experience
Whew! Congrats Boomer great job!
Well until JPT is avaliable in the UK (or i move to Japan) I'll be sticking to the JLPT xD no complaints hahaha
Hi Boomer are you going to get a job as designer in Japan?
Just bought minna no nihongo. What was your study routine when you use this textbook? Any studytips?
I did this in Japanese school and I think we did one chapter a week. Not sure though
congratulations anyway!
dude u live in japan, u probably use it everyday so obviously you're gonna improve alot even if you don't study hard..try studying japanese somewhere else that is not japan and you'll know that it's super hard.
That's completely wrong. Living in Japan by itself does not help much at all with studying Japanese. If you live in a city, its easy to live without ever really needing to use Japanese. Tons of foreigners who come to Japan with no Japanese live in Japan for 3+ years and never get to N3 level. However, this guy was able to go to a full time language school and had a lot of free time to study and also has a girlfriend that can teach him.
I disagree. It depends on whether you bother to make the effort or not.
I'm studying at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, after 1 year I had classmates who were still clueless whereas while I was still living in my home country, I studied Japanese by myself for about 8 months and I knew a LOT by the time I entered school.
じゃ、それはおめでとうございます。
今から何をしようと思っていますか。
I know....I know this wasn't supposed to be funny. But I couldn't stop laughing.
One thing language learners have in common is the feeling of defeat lol but congrats! I'm going to try and send money through PayPal for a beer and a paper copy of your test scores.
EDIT: can't forget about the wife. She gets a beer too for morale support!
Thanks! I appreciated it! Definitely gonna get some craft beers to help me relax!
😍😍😍
N2 wow!
❤❤❤
Boomer, when KemushiChan passed I seemed to remember she received the score results that looked like a passport. Is that what you can pay for?
The JLPT gives you one score report in a book that looks like a passport. The JPT didn't include one and I had to pay extra. The JPT score report was basically a letter.
@@boomlore73 Thanks for responding and congrats!
おめでとう😊
That’s great you passed the JPT! 😄 Do you still plan on taking the JLPT again next year (if it doesn’t get cancelled again 🤭), especially now that you’ve had plenty of practice taking the exam.?
I took the JLPT N2 this past weekend. If I don't pass I will definitely take it again in the summer.
Sounds so stressful >.< but good job Boomer!!
おめでとう、ぶーちゃん！！
How you learn so fast
I went to Japanese school fire two years in Japan. That and a lot off studying.
What's your MB personality? I'm curious
Not sure. I'm the type of person who will stand and talk to a group of friends at a party. But if anyone new joins the group I'll get real quiet.
@@boomlore73 I didn't expect you'd reply to my boring question but thank you anyway! 😂
Yo go👊🏽
Congrats, Boomer! Say hi to Lilly for me :)
JLPT N2 を合格するのが無理ような気がする
浜辺美波
I stopped caring about the JLPT since most Japanese people dont even use the language in the test.
When you get to the N2 level there is a lot of casual conversation stuff you learn in addition to the business stuff you'll need for work.
Clickbait

What makes you think a resume without a Japanese proficiency qualification will be immediately thrown in the trash? I have noticed a lot of this type of garbage being said on the internet, in very definitive ways as though the speaker is some qualified person to speak on behalf of employers.
I passively listened to clowns like this guy for a couple years until I decided to actually apply to a job in Japan without a Japanese language qualification. I got the job.
Yes, you don't NEED a certification per se but in many cases, especially in Japan where they follow the "manual", if someone already had the qualifications they want they will go for that applicant before you. There are exceptions to the rule, which it sounds like is your underlying point, but in most cases a more valuable lesson is " don't give them a reason to say no".
If you succeeded being an exception or creative, congrats. But for many people, expecting to be an exception is the "clown" behavior that won't afford them a job.
@@boomlore73 they would consider both candidates and go for the applicant that had a stronger interview in Japanese.
@@markhoeplinger9524 but you need to get to the interview part first.
@@blorp.1956 In my experience, not having a JLPT qualification has had no detriment whatsoever to my getting interviews. The people reviewing your application are rational and compassionate human beings, not machines that filter out resumes without a JLPT qualification.
@@markhoeplinger9524 i work in IT and even in US companies in Japan I was told that at least JLPT N2 would be necessary. My level is between N3 and N2, which was not high enough.
Congrats!!
