Flame On!
yosh! I hope I’m not the only one who feels this way towards the coming JLPT…! rawr! The exam is only a few days away (this coming December 2, 2007), and three of the chefs are taking part in this “big event” =P absolute0 and yours truly are taking JLPT2, while hamster chef Seleria is taking JLPT3.
God Bless to us, and to all who are taking this year’s JLPT!! *plays Shugo Chara’s Honto no Jibun as BGM* =3
I think I still feel a little feverish… Hope and pray that I won’t end up like Mao (KimiKiss) x__x
yush! time for more cram review >3
Ja ne~!
Love and Cheers from the bunny chef~ :3
Wow, JLPT2 is hardcore. Hope you make it, and all the best!
I’m going for JLPT 4 in Sendai on Sunday.
God help me. Only been studying for 3 months.
wow you guys are so lucky! i wasn’t able to make the deadline for application. so i think next year’s the year for me. gambatte ne guys! fai-to! ^_^
I’m on JLPT4… been studying for 0 seconds!
I’m not taking it seriously yet, but I’ll do formal classes next year.
Good luck to all of you!
Good luck and don’t stress too much! Wew~!
I’ve got midterms in Japanese school on Saturday (technically today) and the JLPT the next day. Wonderful
Good luck with that!!!
I’m looking to start with the JLPT next year, though i may end up having to go to europe to do the exam since the only place in the that offers it are considering stopping
Out of curiosity has anyone here bought and used Kana De Manga and Kanji De Manga series of books? Kana is a 2 book series and Kanji a 5 book series, i just ordered both set and wondered what people thought.
I’ve been a bit half hearted in my past attempts at studying Japanese, but i got my recent exam results back and got a huge 15% right, and that was by accident.
This time round im going in seriously, aswell as signing up for a proper class, ive also ordered 12 kingdoms light novel and some manga from japan. So i can learn, and read what i love at the same time
Ordering from Japan though is darned expensive.
Won’t be doing that again for a while
Ok, anyone could smack me for asking this but, what does JLPT mean? @.@;;
Well whatever it is, good luck on it
JLPT = Japanese Language Proficency Test
“a standardized test to evaluate and certify the language proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. It is held once every year, on the first Sunday of December.
The JLPT has four levels beginning at level 4 and progressing to level 1 - the most difficult. The Japan Foundation estimates that level 4 is reached after approximately 150 hours of study and level 1 after approximately 900 hours of study.”

@Owen: thanks! it is hardcore… @_@ but having anime/manga/japanese game-related hobbies help a lot in easing my Nihongo studying woes :3
@Hectic3: ganbatte!! 3 months could just be enough, depending on how much time you’ve been spending on it
@bluemist: what a brave soul you are… @_@
@Totali: arigatou~ *glomps* :p
@Zeroblade: wow… great timing @.@ ganbareee!!! >3
@Tiamat: I started being really serious in studying Japanese in my last year in college, and the main reference I used was Genki, which is really useful for beginners studying Japanese on their own :3
I have no comments regarding Kana and Kanji de Manga because I haven’t seen any of these books yet. I memorized kanas on my own, way back elementary ^^;;; as for kanjis, I learn them through “direct” means: playing games, reading mangas, songs, etc.
God Bless in your studies…! have fun! it helps if you read the original text, then compare it with the available translations online :3
Studying for JLPT4 tomorrow… Good luck for your JLPT2 alrite…
Man, I’ve heard so many nightmare stories about those proficiency exams. Good luck!
now that’s december 2, just wanted to know how’s the exam guys?^_^
In my case, it was ok, because I had time to study… absolute0 and Seleria however became loaded with a truckload of work which drastically lessened the amount of time they could’ve spent for studying (think 100+ hours of OT =__=) sigh.
anyways, I’ll make a post about my little experience by tomorrow… together with my post for Shugo Chara episode 9 :3
YOU WILL PASS! WOOO
Anyway, how was the test? I chickened at the thought of taking the JLPT this year lol.
And if you pass, where (or what) will the celebration be? Hehehe
…eheh.
Mao.
:3
@Michael: lol. I sure hope so
@hayase: the exam was difficult, especially the listening part which I most likely flunked. The kanji / vocabulary as well as the reading/grammar section were also difficult, but I found it ok because I’ve been exposing myself to reading mangas and novels early on. The Kanzen Reviewer helped a lot in the grammar section… *whew*
@Alyssa: Thank God I didn’t end up with the same fate as Mao on the day of my exam… :3
Glad to hear your exams went well. The results will be out soon! I’m sure you guys did fine. *goes to chara mode* Believe!
Aww, it seems your blogroll got spammed again, I see something about cash listed there. It’s weird how it manages to get through. @_@
hey guys,
long time no post….was not able to wish you guys
good luck on the shiken but anyway i hope you guys
passed
invite me on the string of celebrations
