I have started learning Japanese this October and I want to attend the N3 exam at July 2016.
First of all, I'll start listing how much Japanese I know. I am following the Minna no Nihongo book 1 and now I am at lesson 6 and Basic Kanji vol. 1 at lesson 7. As for my listening skills I have watched anime for the past 2 years and listened to over 3400 hours of conversation. So from there I have picked a lot of words and doing the MNN vocabularies are very easy for me now as I know almost 95% of them in each lesson. I can understand almost 80% of the conversation without any subtitle. So I know a lot of words used in daily conversation. I don't have much fear of Kanji as I learned Chinese for 6 months and passed HSK2(300 Hanji, know around 400 and can write). That's where my confidence comes from. It's more like I learned Japanese by watching anime before learning formally. All these was not to brag so please don't think of me as a weeb or otaku as this was to give you an idea of my Japanese level.
I study Japanese everyday and can finish a lesson in MNN1 and Basic Kanji vol. 1 in 1 day. I think I'll finish upto lesson 15 of each within this this year. Now I'm in need of suggestion of which books I need to read for N3. I am pretty sure that only completing till MNN2 & Basic Kanji vol. 2 won't do me that good. I don't find grammar that interesting and don't have to think about them when writing or talking as they come to me naturally most of the time. So which books should I follow for grammar and other things to become able to attend N3 in next July. I can spare at least an hour each day or more if I get too much into it. For listening practice I watch 1 hour worth of conversation(anime) everyday. I want to start on the books that I may need for N3 already and study all these simultaneously. Is there any credible online course or guide? Can you please kindly suggest which books I should follow and how I should approach.
