The JLPT has no speaking test. Not at N5. Not at N4. Not even at N1. π£οΈ
Terumi Kai breaks down what most learners find out too late: the Japanese Language Proficiency Test measures reading and listening comprehension, not the ability to speak. Thousands of hours of study, and the skill you actually need β holding a real conversation β was never tested once. People spend years passing levels and still can't say anything naturally. Training to pass a test and training to speak are two completely different things.
A certificate proves you studied. It doesn't prove you can speak.
Free consultation in bio. π
