I think it's the bare minimum, and you're expected to have N1 o algo.

N1 is the best. N5 is the worst. N4 is you can MAYBE get a haircut and not fuck it up. It's basically an A2.

The only (but very significant) weakness is zero test of production, it's only comprehension. However its a brokeass institution, so scantron test papers. Nobody is grading a short essay there, they are never going to have you sit in front of a panel and speak to them. Impossible to fix. They don't even host it twice a year in most parts of the US.
>>
>>24136942
google the "specified skilled worker visa"

you'll still want n2-level experience in japanese, but as far as the government legal requirements go, n4 is all you need.
>>
>>24136962
Is there any japanese standardized test that requires production? Kanken makes you write kanji and correct predefined sentences but never requires you to write even one full sentence.

>>24136968
BlazBlue has a cool system in the earlier games where your language setting becomes your "voice" in netplay.

If your game was set to japanese, your opponenet would hear japanese from you. Vice versa for english.
>>
>>24136936
I dislike Japan and Japanese culture, so I don't play Japanese games.
>>
>>24136964
Not that I'm aware. They care about stupid gaijin understanding orders more than their ability to speak or write back. But if you have B2 level comprehension just fucking practice a bit and you're going to get smooth at production anyways. If you practice it.

>>24136951
because it takes like 3 times more study to get an N1 and the N1 is full of phrases and shit you'll hear sporadically, many expressions overlap with shit you already know, and numerous others have no equivalents in english, making it a pain in the ass to prepare for?

work as a hotel clerk which is allowed in the ssw visa. it's called the "accomodation industry". now that i fulfilled the n4 requirement, all i have to do is prepare for the work abilities exam in India of all places.

Testing your language proficiency is well and good but is one of those prep tests not enough? Is it really necessary to pay for a meaningless test? I could understand the merit of an N1 or N2 certificate to allow you to show Japanese language proficiency if applying for jobs over there, but an N4?

Fair enough but don't you need some sort of skill(s) or education to be considered for SSW? Do you have at minimum a college degree or a completed apprenticeship? Secondly, why would you choose to move to Japan now? It's already a backwards country but now your going at a time of heightened foreign dislike.

Nevermind, I just read that you don't have any accredited skills. You're a deadbeat in one country and you'll remain so in Japan. You'll be competing for jobs against Indians and other non-Japanese Asians. You seem ambitious about it so I can't see the life experience hurting. I'm just worried that you might develop Paris syndrome.

SSW Visa Type-1 doesn't require pre-existing experience, Type-2 does.

>>24137019
>I have 4 years of experience as a cashier
I'm just gonna play along and presume you're not trolling: why would Japan (or any country) want to import someone that is unskilled to do the menial work? Well, you are in luck because Japan is actually importing people to do just that with the convenience stores, but again, you'll be competing against other immigrants for those positions. Secondly, you're going over there to do the exact same work but earn lower wages? Does that sound reasonable? Lastly, you'd be doing the same work for lower wages with worse work conditions and work life balance, all whilst discriminated against.
I get that you idealise Japan but you'd be better off saving some money to go there as a vacation.
>>
>>24137030
getting fluency then go to university seems like a good idea. its actually inexpensive compared to getting a degree in the US. infact you can literally live with family and work a year to afford most of it.
>>
>>24137030
>why would Japan (or any country) want to import someone that is unskilled to do the menial work?

You prove the skills through the SSW exam, which I haven't taken yet. I have a while to study the test materials before this test..

The test is there SPECIFICALLY to prove you have the skills to work at a job in Japan, the problem is you can't take the test in America or even Japan unless you're on a student visa.
>>
>>24136936
I hadn't played a game in any language other than Japanese in about ten years until I started Morrowind recently.

I'd normally agree with that but how the fuck are you gonna do that in Japan with its infamous work culture? You'd be better served moving to another country.

>>24137032
>You prove the skills through the SSW exam
What skills? Any retard can work as a cashier and all Japanese people have a better level of Japanese than you.

You'll be surprised to find out that is not the case. It's actually the time to kick back and relax because it's all about getting into said uni and given Asia's face culture, the uni would lose face if they fail students so it's a free ticket. Everything before getting in is hellish, though.

Here is a hint, try and associate the sound they make with the picture, like "ne" maybe looks like a horses head or "ta" looks like someone spreading their arms and going "ta-da!" Just whatever will make you associate the symbol to a sound, then just grind every day until you look at the symbol and instantly hear the sound.

i'm sure the skills for a "Hotel Clerk" job aren't really high, because SSW visas even cover Indians when they want to work at 7 eleven.

you can complain that "literally anyone could work as a Hotel Clerk", and that might even be valid, but that's the current state of Japanese Immigration. It's possible, and that possibility is enough for me to try and get it.
