The test attracted candidates from 39 localities across Japan with the average age of about 40. The oldest candidate is 86 years old and the youngest one is just 8 years old.
Chairman of the association of Southeast Asian nations’ foreign language exchange in Japan Fujino Masayoshi said that the test this year attracted a record number of candidates across Japan.
He said that the test is held annually, offering Japanese learners a playground to test their Vietnamese language proficiency except in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chairman of the Bunsai Gakuen Non-Profit Education Foundation Ise Yoji said that the record number of candidates shows the increased interest of Japanese people in Vietnamese language.
The 8th edition of the test is scheduled for June 15, 2025./.
