By amar on Mar 16, 2008 | Reply
I think the question is asking you whether you are proficient in Japanese or not. If you are, you have to tick YES and sit for the Japanese Language test and don’t have to take the 1-year Japanese language intensive class. Otherwise, just tick NO. Well, that’s what I understand about the question.
