Accordingly, the candidates come from 35 localities across Japan. They study or do jobs relating to Vietnamese such as Vietnamese language students at universities, translators, and those who want to explore Vietnam and Vietnamese people, especially Vietnamese food. The oldest contestant of this year's exam is 77 years old and the youngest is 11 years old.

Chairman of the association of Southeast Asian nations’ foreign language exchange in Japan Fujino Masayoshi said that the test attracted candidates from all over Japan. Another good thing is that many candidates, after passing the exam in 2022, have continued to register for this year's exam at a higher level.

That proved the candidates continue to improve their Vietnamese language ability.

Chairman of the Bunsai Gakuen Non-Profit Education Foundation Ise Yoji said he believed that the number of Japanese people who are interested in Vietnam will continue to increase because exchange and cooperation activities between the two countries are growing. A good impression of Vietnam and its people is the motivation for many Japanese to learn Vietnamese.

JCFL, belonging to the Bunsai Gakuen Non-profit Education Association, is the first and only unit so far that has the function of organizing exams and granting Vietnamese language proficiency certificates in Japan. In addition to organizing the Vietnamese language proficiency test, it also teaches Vietnamese to Japanese people and teaches expertise to many Vietnamese students.

The Vietnamese language proficiency test is held annually to standardize and popularise the Vietnamese language in Japan. As planned, the 7th Vietnamese language proficiency test will take place on June 16, 2024./.
