3.9k Views 15 Votes 29 Comments

This is another one of my newest quiz series which is all about language. As we all know, linguistics is the scientific study of language and its structure, including the study of grammar, syntax, and phonetics.

So for my first quiz (and maybe after we are done with all my Japanese language tutorial), it’s all exclusively for Japanese language. If you love to learn Japanese language, take this challenging quiz to try your fluency about this unique language from Japan.

Are you ready for this one? If you are, get to know the basic introduction of Japanese language by guessing the right answers for this quiz.

Make sure to get 9/15 for this one to get a passing score.

Good luck and hope you will learn a lot!
