語彙...語彙...語彙
I have been making good use of my confinement due to the house being overtaken by handsome young men by studying, hard, for the up-and-coming JLPT. I am aiming for level 2 this year, but I doubt I can pass in one shot. Lots of my Japanese is self taught and so therefore very random, I am good at some things, whilst there are others I havent seen before in my life. One of my weak points is grammar. In particular, the Kanji section of the Goi section of the JLPT. I'm fine with reading the kanji etc in the previous section, but Goi throws me. I bought a JLPT sample questions book in Japan, and for most of the Gio section I'm making random or intelligent guesses. Its not good enough. I have to pick my vocabulary up. But how? Plain old memorisation? I dont really have the patience for that. So, I'm reading and writing and watching things, but... thats all I was doing before. (As well as reading textbooks with very POLITE...non-everyday... vocab...) I guess I should find a language exchange partner too.
But Goi. The biggest part of the JLPT. The main part of the JLPT! Maybe I'm just not cut out for level 2. But I have to take it this year. I have to tell my intern interviewers in Japan the result come March. (My intern in Japan could depend on it) ...so....no pressure! >_<;;;;
Its not everything in Goi that is scary, though. Just bits. The main bits, usually... >_<;;;

So which do I need? 20 days or 50 days?
(Anyone recommend a good vocab learning Japanese book for JLPT 2? Or website??)

I've been using a program called Anki for the past week and I think it's pretty good. You see a word and choose how well you know it, and then it'll be repeated after 10 minutes, a day, 3-5 days or 9 days. It doesn't sound that clever, but because it keeps you going through even the the older vocab that you theoretically know, it makes sure you don't forget stuff you learnt a couple of weeks ago. It really drills it into you :)

Other than that I've just been using Kanzen Masutaa, but they're only best for grammar and comprehension.
頑張ってくださいね。
My English Voc is sooooo poor. I am worrying about that too.
buythe way, I guess I need to find a language exchange partner too. Can I rise my hand as your partner?
it would be great idea!
Ooh, thanks for the help Ben :) The program looks cool. Do you need Japanese fonts to use it? (as its quiet at work at the moment and the boss is on holiday... **cheeky grin**)
@chi
Yippie!
(...you might regret saying that) :)
I'm not sure about on Windows, I assume there must be some fonts installed for it to be able to display stuff, yeah.
I guess the question is, how hard is it to find a work-related excuse to install the fonts on your PC ;)
GRRRRR I want to read and write Japanese on a computer again.... GRRRR ***Frustrating***
