Japanese Language Test
Charles Abing passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 (level 2) which was held in early December 2015. The result was announced on the MyJLPT account of the examinees on January 26, 2016.
"I didn't review. I didn't have time to study," Charles recalled his experience. "So, I had doubts that I would pass the exam. However, I was also trying to prove my theory that proficiency in language can be achieved by just listening, speaking and reading the language. Something that I always encourage everyone to do when learning a new language." |

Although Charles L. Abing was born in Ozamiz City, he is every bit a Cagayan de Oro baby as any CDO-born individual. He was educated here and practically grew up surrounded by Kagay-anons. Liceo de Cagayan University’s Dean of the College of Music is definitely at home in the City of Golden Friendship.
