    Japanese students will tell you that Japanese, on the other hand, while frothing at the mouth, is completely backwards!! Even some Japanese teacher might tell you that the basic Japanese sentence order is [Subject] [Object] [Verb]. This is a classic example of trying to fit Japanese into an English-based type of thinking. Of course, we all know (right?) that the real order of the fundamental Japanese sentence is: [Verb]. Anything else that comes before the verb doesn’t have to come in any particular order and nothing more than the verb is required to make a complete sentence. In addition, the verb must always come at the end. That’s the whole point of even having particles so that they can identify what grammatical function a word serves no matter where it is in the sentence. In fact, nothing will stop us from making a sentence with [Object] [Subject] [Verb] or just [Object] [Verb]. The following sentences are all complete and correct because the verb is at the end of the sentence.

    What I’m trying to say is that these↓

    ときどき ワイン を すこし のみます
    I sometimes drink a little wine

    Shouldn’t it be:
    すこし ワイン を ときどき のみます

    are both plausible. If you want to translate it into proper English, thats how it will end up either way.

    Wow, I didn’t think I would see another person who wanted to know about this kind of stuff.

    I am becoming turning into a sophomore into this coming semester but I completed Japanese 202 my spring semester as a freshman. But wait how do you get into 202 already if you’re a freshman you ask? Before my spring semester, I went to the head of the Japanese department and he gave me an test on the spot which involved everything you described: reading passages, listen to questions asked in Japanese about the passages by the professor, and then answer back in Japanese.

    When I did the test, I went as far as the 300 level (cause he used the textbook for that class) but decided that my writing and speaking weren’t good enough so he put me into the 202 class. I will assume that when you mean the profiency test, you mean the JLPT. So after destroying completing the class I can say that it would fit between N5 and N4 in which case you should aim for N4 to N3.

    When I took the class, I pretty much knew everything for the entire semester already except for maybe a few things here and there and practicing speaking and hearing it spoken helped fill some gaps (though they are still my weak points). Anyway, I can’t tell you specifically how much vocab and kanji you need to know because I don’t even know how much I know myself. In that area, I’m sure someone else would be able to tell you. But the for the meantime, look up the requirements for N4 and N3.

    One more thing, to give you and idea of what my test was like with the professor, I told you about how I made it to 300 level right? If you take a look at the picture below, I had to read up to the first paragraph at least and then the professor asked me an extremely general question – “What is this article about?” which completely stopped me. If you can read this entire passage and answer that question in Japanese, I think you’ll be more than ready for your Japanese II level test.
