I'm a native Spanish speaker with English (TOEIC) and Japanese (JLPT) language certifications, residing in Japan for longer than 10 years.
Let me share some details about my language learning history.
・Skills:
-Spanish language: Native level
-English language: Upper-Intermediate level
-Japanese language: Intermediate level
・Background:
I migrated to Japan 11 years ago. Since then, I have worked in 3 companies, studied 5 Japanese language courses offered by the local office, and enrolled in a Japanese language school for 1 year. Thanks to this, I successfully obtained a certification of Japanese language proficiency (JLPT N2) which is equivalent to intermediate-upper intermediate (Business) level. Also, I took the EJU test, which is used to measure Japanese aptitude when applying to Japanese universities. My score was 211/400 points, enough to apply to some universities.
I'm able to understand daily life conversations, grasp the most important points of a simple text, hand-write simple essays, and talk in Japanese (Grammatically not perfect but good enough to make myself understand.)
Language experience and owned certifications are highlighted below.
