I'm Japanese and have been taking very similar English listening tests in Japan for 6 years. And what I found is that these types of quizzes are confusing in any language and I basically hate them. I need to keep extremely concentrated while the speakers are saying something, otherwise, I could miss some very important information, which is honestly very stressful.

I'm using a translator, so this might be weird.
翻訳機を使っているので変かも知れません。

This isn't easy... Even for a native Japanese like me! 😅

Unit 1 seems to be higher N2 level, and Unit 2 seems to be N3 level.

at 29:15, there's a slight mistake! the guy in the video says 「追加料金を取られてしまいますよ。」but the transcription says 「追加料金を請求されてしまいますよ。」They essentially mean the same thing when translated, but I think the guy should've said what was in the transcription since it is more business-like and less rude-sounding on the part of the taxi driver.

this listening level make my head upside down.

The first one was absolute beast-mode, to "kick things off" I guess. I understood almost 0 of it. Then it got a lot, easier.

In the gym example, I was thinking the guy really needs to go to a 24 hour fitness, Japanese gyms have too many choices and limited lol

Dear Japanese101, thanks for this helpful listening material. I wonder, what level is this one translated to in terms of JLPT? Is this around N2? Thanks !

[azatnavatov]

Which level is it? JLPT 1, 2, 3? Approximately

[wvter]

The speed didn't increase at all from Intermediate. Anyway is this talking speed the average talking speed?

[wvter]

If only actual Japanese were spoken as slow as this is lol.

[Italuver]

I also would like to know which JLPT level is this listening comprehension.

[BakaBaka]

damn it, I watch too much anime, I can't understand a normal sound conversation. if it's not a high pitch I can't understand it.

[PukekoKiwi]

Hey! Do you over at japanesepod mind if you could make some video guides on how Japanese sentences are constructed?

[lg-iuzg]

how can i get the scripts of the dialogue? thank you.

[adawiyahb]

the only word ik in japanese is watashiwa

[megtani]

This is difficult even for a native Japanese!

[elmore]

It's funny. With this one I can understand some really easily and the others I can only understand like 60 to 70% off, and yet still pick the wrong answer cause again some small details escape me, yet I can easily understand what's going on yet not enough at the same time. Frustrating! I guess that means I'm like on 50% of this advanced level.
