WeebDestroyer34. • 2 yr. ago. 日本語の森 has some good content. For JLPT review they go though a bunch of mock questions and walk you through them step by step. While this channel is a good source for JLPT practice, I also find their other content amazing as well! JTalkOnline. Failing the listening portion means failing the N4, and Duolingo's single sentence format means that it's easier than the test will be. It is doable, but with that short an amount of time I might recommend the N5 first to test your development. To build on what u/TunaCatss said, N5 is 325-600 hours. JLPT stands for "Japanese-Language Proficiency Test" and is a standardized test foreigners can take to demonstrate their level of Japanese ability. While there are other similar tests, the JLPT is the most common and is recognized globally. JLPT certification of a certain level can even be a necessary requirement for jobs or other applications. There are five levels for the JLPT: 1 to 5. JLPT N5 is the lowest but easiest to pass of them all, and JLPT N1 is the highest level and as close to a native you can get. The JLPT tests cover both written and listening comprehension. However, they do not cover speaking or writing. While searching for it, I strangely remember that years ago I had seen a chart of hours required to pass. Before concluding I simply imagined this, I discovered I wasn't the only one who remembered these now-elusive numbers. The older exams, up until the mid-2000s told you the following: N1: 900 hours. N2: 600 hours. N3: 300 hours. N4: 150 hours. Vay Nhanh Fast Money.
