		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have to pass JLPT 2 during my year broad otherwise my university won&#039;t let me advance to Year 4. That alone is motivation enough! But I think it&#039;s to help those of us who want to work in Japan post-graduation really, the Japanese seem to  love their academic achievements :).&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;great article! I think like you about this subject: the jlpt. In my case there are many reasons why I want this. I think that the JLPT 2 (and then 1) are just a step on my way to do what I want to do... To have a job in Japan and be able to practice everyday my japanese and improve it! So, I think this is a serious goal so I&#039;m preparing to give this exam in order to have more &#039;weapons&#039; when I visit Japan. My Girlfriend gave the level 2 test and passed it, so I think that if anyone gives its best can do it. Which JLPT did you give? (btw I-m writing from chile)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m certainly studying to take the JLPT this year as I don&#039;t want to be forever stuck as an English teacher in Japan. Having at least level 2 on my resume will put me ahead of others that either don&#039;t have it or are at a lower level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another reason to take it is you&#039;ll be taken more seriously by natives. Right now they treat me as my Japanese studies are only a hobby.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;All hail the almighty Zonjineko blog..Hail-hail&lt;/em&gt; LOL
I&#039;d like to say that this blog is pretty awesome and that the info provided here is VERY useful to beginners (Like myself)..
And ever since I stumbled (thank God for inventing stumbling) upon this site it has been my homepage!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now I&#039;m certain of it!
I&#039;ll take the JLPT tests!!
I used to think that I&#039;d casually study Japanese and eventually get it all in my head..But I was wrong wasn&#039;t I?!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;d love to work and live in Japan in the future so I guess that JLPT&#039;s are the way to go for meh!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peace out and keep up the good blog!!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m probably lazy for asking this (as I really haven&#039;t looked up anything about the JLPT) but do you start with level 4 and go up or do you start with 1 and go down? I&#039;m a bit confused.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Glad to be of service ^_^ I wouldn&#039;t rule the option out entirely at this early stage but yes it is definitely not the only way to achieve your Japanese dream&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Doumo arigatou for the heads-up. It&#039;s good to get some useful information about whether the JLPT is or is not the ultimate way to go. Even though I&#039;m only fifteen, ideas about the future are looming over my head; and since I have been studying Japanese for the last five years, naturally the JLPT looks enticing. But your article has cleared up some of my doubt. That is...I don&#039;t think I&#039;m gonna take it. xD&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thx Brad - good luck with your studies. I have the first 103 kanji on a worksheet on the front page now so that should give you a good start ^_^&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Smart.fm is an awesome resource to get you started too - plenty there to get your head around and a good community.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best of luck!&lt;/p&gt;
