7 Levels of Japanese (explained by a linguist)

There are 7 distinct levels to mastering Japanese, but most learners have no idea where they actually stand. Because the official level tests don't tell you if you can actually survive in the real world. But after 4 years living in Japan, learning the language myself, and making every embarrassing mistake possible, I’ve finally mapped it out, based on what you can actually do. So in this video, I'll show you the exact real-world benchmarks for all 7 Japanese fluency levels, roughly how long each one takes, and what’s waiting for you at the very top.
