My suggestion to you for JLPT is: try to read Japanese newspaper. Like, couple of articles every day. By the way, if you are enjoin SC2 you probably should check out SC2 Japanese community site, some Japanese live casters, and interact with more Japanese people on twitter and staff. This will help you not only with your spoken Japanese but also with reading and listening! I am from Russia, so dont worry about my English plz <3 PS got 1st level in 2009 (15 years old) | ||

Another fun way to learn Japanese is by joining Japan's SC2 channel ("jpn-1" in game). People are often looking for teammates, and just playing games with them is a good way to learn the sc2/gamer vocab. | ||

I passed the last JLPT 1kyuu test in 2009 before they switched to N1, but if the test is still the same, you will want to find actual past exams to take as mock tests. I know they used to sell them year by year, like the one in the link below. http://www.amazon.co.jp/平成21年度第2回-日本語能力試験1・2級試験問題と正解-日本国際教育支援協会/dp/4893587447/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334163615&sr=8-2-fkmr2 Taking a true mock test now will show you where you really stand, and you'll know where to focus most of your efforts before the test. I took JLPT level 2 and passed easily in 2006. The toughest part for me then was the reading section, and easiest was kanji/vocab. But between taking level 2 and level 1 I did not improve my kanji/vocab as much as I should have, so the kanji/vocab became the hardest. I barely passed level 1, despite having an easier time on all the mock tests. A few random tips: - For the listening section, make sure you clear your head before the next question starts. I've missed many questions because I was still thinking about the previous question and contemplating between two answers (tricky questions are common). You have to make a choice and forget about the question immediately after. - Grammar section. The easiest section on the test by far, as long as you put in the time to memorize all the grammar points. The example sentences you'll run through in the practice books almost always appear in the same way on the tests. You get to the point where you don't even need to understand the meaning of some of the sentences because you can recognize the patterns. - Not sure if this changed for N1, but the grammar and reading section was done in the same 90 minute block. I recommend doing the grammar section first and completing it within 20 min max. This left 70 min for the reading section which had about 20 questions spread across a number of articles. I actually worked backwards for the reading section, doing the quick articles first for easy points and then doing the long articles at the end. Test a few different ways during the mock tests to decide what you like. This section of the test is hard for most people because of time constraints. | ||
