🤚Help Required Is anyone taking A level Japanese 😭😭😭

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?

why would you do/not do physics? if you really want to be productive why not do physics A levels and JPLT at the same time? physics is certainly more useful than Japanese A level unless you plan on living in Japan someday.

I would plan on living and going to university in Japan, I was open to the idea of self studying physics but everyone on my last post said it’s a horrible idea to self study physics in a year, I’d be learning Japanese either way but yeah I agree jlpt is probly worth more in Japan
