Why I built Beyond JLPT

Seven years ago, I got my JLPT N1 certificate. But when I went to Japan and spoke with Japanese professionals, I realised just how lacking my keigo and formal speaking skills were.

I was confident in casual and polite Japanese, and I still am. But keigo is a whole other beast to tackle.

That's why I created Beyond JLPT. To help everyone facing the same problem improve their professional Japanese speaking skills, beyond what the JLPT assessed us on.
