What to Expect
Japanese language evaluation tasks are among the most linguistically complex available, reflecting Japanese's grammatical and sociolinguistic richness. Core evaluation areas include keigo (honorific language system, sonkeigo, kenjลgo, teineigo), correct kanji selection among homophones, natural particle usage, and appropriate plain vs. polite form selection for context. AI Japanese frequently produces grammatically acceptable but socially inappropriate output, using casual register in formal contexts or applying honorifics incorrectly. You'll also evaluate whether AI correctly navigates the implicit communication patterns important in Japanese professional contexts. Audio tasks involve recording in natural Japanese speech rhythms for synthesis training. Native speaker or C2-level fluency with strong kanji literacy and cultural competency is required.
