Check This Out

Tons of shockwave lessons and a LOT of very useful PDFs including study guides for each of the JLPTs! Wow - there's lots of good stuff here that they're giving away for free.

It is a little bit disorganized, but... WOW, that is a lot of material there. Impressive find.

Great practice for someone just starting.

Thanks for sharing that,Terry. Looks like really useful stuff for me, with lessons in EITHER romaji OR kana, and the 48-week plan with projected learning charts for motivation! Keep bringing in goodies like this!! King of Rock, yey!!

Yay, this will help me with my studies for this years exams.

Are you taking a JLPT? Which one?

Ben W Bell · 11 Jan 2005

Me? Oh it will just be the first one, the Level 4. I hope to spend this year learning and working up to it. I'm not that far along, but I know about half the Hiragana and a decent smattering of words, phrases and other bits. 11 months is long enough I think for the Level 4.

Fantt · 11 Jan 2005

I'm in about the same position as you and I think I may go for Level 3. It's not THAT much more. Though I figure if I shoot for level 3 and I don't feel quite up to it, I should do fine taking Level 4.

Good luck!

Well I thought I'd just go for the level 4 and see what happens. With a year between sittings it's a bti much to go for the level 3, miss, do the level 4 the following year then the 3 again. I'll do the 4 and see what happens, then maybe the 3 the following year if I'm still any good at it.

Get a load of this then

Jim Breen has a quality site full of links to useful resources.

Jim Breen's Japanese Page

Have a look at the dictionary too as it is really useful for providing examples of words in context.

Another site is:

Charles Kelly's Online Japanese Language Study Materials

The Kelly brothers have a number of flash exercises for practicising Kanji.

Hi Ben,

I just took the Level 4 this past December in San Francisco. Previous to that I had taken a year of Japanese, was off for the summer, and then started studying again for the JLPT from Aug. until the test. So I think 11 months for your study will be plenty.

For me, the Vocabulary, Grammar, and Reading sections of the test weren't so bad, but the Listening Comprehension was a killer! If I were you I would listen to as much Japanese as you can in the next 11 months to get your ear trained for it. During the exam the voices speak at normal speed (which seems very fast) and there is no repeating what was said.

I'm preparing early this time--especially the listening part--to try the Level 3 in Dec. '05. Good luck with your studies...窶堋ｪ窶堙ｱ窶堙寂?堙≫?堙??堙仰！
