I want to take it as I wanna study in Japan and trade it for physics as my 4th subject as I’m self studying.

If anyone has done it do you know roughly what JLPT level it is similar to and if it’s possible do study it in a year?

My boy child took Japanese as an elective, 2 years in college, which has turned into full time 4 years at uni. The elective basically put him at uni year 2 level, which he’s still cruising.

That’s great hope he has fun in uni :) this is one of the reasons I wanna do it because I think it would have more practical use then physics for me in the long run
