N3

N3 refers to a level within the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), which measures non-native speakers’ Japanese skills. Specifically, N3 indicates an intermediate level where individuals can understand everyday topics and some more complex material, such as news stories or conversations on familiar subjects. It demonstrates the ability to comprehend written and spoken Japanese with a reasonable degree of independence but isn't as fluent as higher levels (N1 or N2). Passing N3 shows you have solid basic understanding and can navigate many situations in Japan, though some advanced language skills may still be developing.
