Why Study JLPT with Coto Academy?

What is the JLPT?

This multiple-choice exam evaluates your mastery of vocabulary, kanji, grammar, listening, and reading comprehension. Today, the JLPT serves as a global benchmark for employers, universities, and immigration authorities to accurately assess professional and academic Japanese proficiency.
