Demonstrate understanding of spoken Japanese related to everyday contexts
This standard tests whether you can listen to Japanese conversations and understand what's being said about everyday topics like going out, food, routines, and activities. You need to pick out the important information from what you hear and explain what it means, even if you miss some smaller details along the way.
You understand the general topic and can identify some key information, but your answers are quite basic with little specific detail from the audio.
You select specific details from what you hear and connect them together to answer questions fully; you understand the structures and vocabulary used, and small errors don't stop you making sense of it.
You interpret the language precisely, explain the speakers' choices and why they said things, and back up your answers with detailed examples from the audio—your understanding is thorough and nuanced.
