Ask a master for advice on Japanese learning methods

1 1.2.28

In view of the fact that many tx soybean oils asked me how to arrange the review time before the exam, lz gave a unified answer here: Because everyone's schedule and study status are different, there is no standard answer to this question for lz, and it is a question that tx should consider in combination with its own characteristics. ...

For example, lz is lazy When he was a sophomore, he went to bed late, got up late, couldn't get up, and didn't study for himself early. So generally speaking, learning begins at 1 1:30. If you are in poor condition in the afternoon, you will have more rest time, and you will study again when you are efficient at night.

I don't know much about tx's personal situation, so I can't make specific plans about when you will start studying or how long you will study every day.

The only thing I can suggest is that when you have a foundation but don't know your level, you can do the real questions of your prepared level. You can just read and set the time according to your understanding level. For example, if you don't understand at all, study for 8 hours every day, and then find the real question after half a month to see if you understand it all. I see, then do other questions and grasp your overall situation. If there is no foundation or registration level, spend more time reviewing in the first month and then do a set of real questions. Decide your own review time according to the problem-solving situation.

For example, lz didn't pass Grade 34, but only did two sets of questions after the standard date. After the score can pass, prepare for the second level directly. At that time, I didn't know the second level. I heard that there are more Chinese characters than Grade 3, which may be easier to read, so I looked for a real question and found that I didn't understand the article, and Chinese characters didn't mean what I thought. So I studied hard for half a month, about 8 hours a day, and found that the article had been able to understand smoothly. Study hard 1 month, do a few real questions, and the score can reach 280 or even 300 (240 at that time). Then I played for half a month and did the real questions half a month before the exam. After I found that I could barely pass the exam, I shortened the last half month's review time and worked hard on it for five hours every day until the exam.

10.11.1minor update

First of all, thank you for your attention, recommendation and message, so that this article with no literary value can help more friends who like to learn Japanese. Secondly, I would like to thank the team leader of this edition for putting it at the top and giving me some part-time opportunities ~

Because this article is not done overnight, some paragraphs are answers to friends' questions and then inserted into the article. So there should be some incoherent places and many sick sentences. If there are any terms that cause you reading difficulties, please leave a message to correct them. Thank you!

In addition, this article only focuses on how to pass the exam quickly. However, it takes a long time to really master a language. Please understand that whether you have "learned" a foreign language cannot be measured by "eight months" or "1 year".

It is said that I have a basic knowledge of Japanese for two months, so I am neither a language expert nor an examination expert. The main idea of my whole article is just to express that talent is not necessary to learn a language, but "interest" and "diligence" are indispensable!

Text:

I wrote it a long time ago, aiming at the old grade exam, but because the new version is still a multiple-choice question, I feel that there is not much difference in experience, and I can still directly refer to the reference list and a better publishing house regardless of experience.

For the new version of the exam, from the information I have learned, I feel much easier than the old version! For example, 1 grade 100 can pass, which is equal to 60% of the grade compared with 180, but 70% in the old grade. In addition, the so-called single requirement, 60 points 19 points is not difficult. The increase in the number of questions may also reduce the difficulty, because the number of questions under each question type is reduced, and the difficulty of many questions will also be reduced in order to examine the basic knowledge. Of course, this final analysis is only for sample questions. I've only heard it, but I've never seen the real question. In the July exam, tx got a lot of perfect marks, and even saw a 60/60/5 1 awesome person, which was rare in previous exams. After the reform, there are few easy exams. Maybe the first few times are just experiments, and the difficulty will gradually increase, so everyone must seize the opportunity at the beginning of the reform!

I am a liberal arts non-language major. I started from 0 and taught myself 1 level in about 8 months. The schedule is: I studied Grade 0 to Grade 3 intermittently for four months during my sophomore year (ranging from 1-4 hours every day, not every day), and I studied 1 half a month before the Grade 2 exam (6-7 hours every day in the first month, and about 5 hours in the second half).

Answer the longest question first: Is the language good for self-study or for taking classes, or am I suitable for learning languages?

These two aspects naturally have their own advantages and disadvantages. Learning small languages by yourself can really save a lot of money. If you sign up for class, you can get started quickly and concentrate a lot of time on your study.

If you plan to learn a language just to understand the lines of games, comics and variety shows, then I suggest you teach yourself. Many people learn foreign languages just because they are interested, but they will give up easily when they encounter difficulties, because interest is only for fun rather than learning. I tracked and counted the people who sent it at school before, saying that they wanted to learn Japanese out of interest. From the day you chatted with me to 1 month, in fact, only one fifth of people have learned Japanese. Since my school minored in Japanese, I don't know how many people signed me up at the beginning. It is said that there are seventy or eighty students in our class, but by the end of the term, I went to a class and less than 20 people watched it. The deskmate also said that many people came today. When there are few classes in the second semester and junior year, some people want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, some people go to practice, and some people seize the last time to play. So the person who pays the money is just preparing to graduate and get a minor certificate. Some students who have passed the third grade, but those who have passed the second grade can only be counted as units.

So if you are only enthusiastic now, I suggest you buy a book with a standard date to read. If you can't insist, then we still have time to read comics and play games and enjoy ourselves before going to work.

If you are really determined to learn a foreign language, then I suggest you take a class and learn the pronunciation part. After all, language is still used to speak. If you want to correct your pronunciation to a certain extent, it may be the same as writing bad words like 10 for many years and letting you practice with a copybook. . After you pass the phonetic pass, you can study by yourself to your heart's content. Personal work and rest time is different, which may be much slower than class registration, but as long as you persist, you will certainly achieve something.

Lz is not a learning talent, because it is decided by lottery to predict junior high school in advance. The primary school has been reading extracurricular books diligently, and then it was drawn to the worst junior high school in the city by applause, and then it was admitted to a quasi-key high school and a little-known 2 1 1 by cleverness. I like doing everything except studying. The academic performance remained stable in the last third, until Dayu suddenly realized that all the games seemed to have been played, and it was time to get two certificates for finding a job, so Dayu and he won several exams in succession after working.

I think there are only two reasons why I can pass 1: 1 interest in Japanese. I didn't continue to go to bars, skip classes and hang out before the exam. I succeeded in sticking to my desk!

In addition, please find something related to your interests as a starting point before learning a language, or you must cultivate your interests after learning! For example, lz learns Japanese because of his interest in animation and games. After learning Korean, I keep watching variety shows of reverse dramas to cultivate my interest (Korean dramas are similar in plot, and most of them are intertwined by two women and two men, so it is boring to watch three or four movies. . ), listen to Elena every day when learning French, watch horror movies when learning Thai, watch Italian erotic movies when learning Spanish to cultivate a sense of language-and so on. ...

About Japanese proficiency test:

The new Japanese level test is divided into five levels (the first four in 2009), with 1 being the highest. Its international status is equivalent to IELTS and TOEFL in Japanese. But in terms of questions, I think it is the easiest of all language tests, because both listening and grammar of writing words are multiple-choice questions. Japanese is the easiest language for China people to learn. Personally, I think it is much easier than learning English! I have observed my friends and colleagues around me. I've never met anyone who can pass CET-6 in primary school Japanese. From primary school English to Japanese 1, 1. Not many Japanese majors have passed CET-6. (I will describe it in a separate chapter when I have time). Therefore, those who want to play with certificates or increase the weight of finding a job can start with Japanese. It is precisely because they are all multiple-choice questions that they can pass the exam in a short time through a lot of problem-solving skills. As for the ability, it can be gradually improved after the exam or at work. Other language tests pay more attention to practical ability and are difficult to pass in a short time. Judging from some exams I have come into contact with, for example, the TOPIK exam in South Korea has subjective questions and writing, in which the advanced part involves argumentative writing, and the primary part also has writing of 150-300 words. French TEF is also a multiple-choice question, but there will be five choices of 1, and points will be deducted if the choice is wrong. Dele test in Spanish includes not only writing, but also oral test of 10 minutes or more.

Is it still difficult to register? /How to register:

Since the Ministry of Education changed the system in 2009, it is much easier to register now. Basically, it will be completed within 2 minutes after opening the interface. There is absolutely no need to report it.

Register on this website/but I can't open it now.

Baidu Education Testing Center Overseas Examination Registration Information Network can also be used.

Then find JLPT to do a Japanese proficiency test. Registration should start around February 8 10. Many days before registration, the website will be open for registration. You can register information on the website first. It is said that electronic photos will be sent now, so prepare in advance!

After the registration begins, log in to your registered account first, and then the exam grade will be displayed. After entering, the test center will be selected and finally confirmed. Remember to pay within 3 days. It seems that ICBC can only pay. It seems that the traffic is ok? I kind of can't remember. Can anyone supplement this question? Thank you!

Views on some remedial classes;

If you are aiming at the exam, you can go to the New World for audition, where the exam classes have the best reputation and the internal information before the exam is quite popular in Russia, but it is definitely a little more expensive than other remedial classes.

Those who have economic conditions can go to Sakura Japanese, mainly for spoken English. If you want to go abroad, you must pay attention to your spoken English. Many exams have passed the first level, but you can't say a complete sentence clearly. But cherry blossoms are very expensive, and the tuition fee for studying there for two years is much more than the total tuition fee for four years of college. ...

Want to know what Japanese is, I suggest you go to Yanyuan Elite, which is cheap. In 2006, it seemed that you could register for only 650 yuan in three years, but I heard that the teacher was very scripted, just one class at a time. ...

Homologous correlation;

For beginners in China, the first thing they must face is the five-tone diagram, which is the first hurdle to learn Japanese. How to memorize pentatonic pictures is also a difficult problem for most people. And my answer is only one: rote learning!

Some people may use the etymology of the five-tone picture in Standard Day to help them recite, that is, it is also a good method to compare and memorize Chinese characters similar to the five-tone picture, such as "An".

For tx who likes Japanese anime, you can choose to recite sentences, such as good morning, thank you, I see, no-although no one can write such sentences, they will definitely say them, so when you are a beginner, you can completely forget to recite them according to the chart. You can find out which words are good morning, write a small note and stick it on the wall, look at it every day, and then you will soon remember many words.

Another problem is very common. Do you want to recite katakana?

In my opinion, beginners can only remember hiragana. Katakana is only a Japanese phonetic notation in English, which is hardly involved by beginners. You just need to remember the words that appear in each lesson, such as "ァメリカ" in America, so that you can remember them slowly when you meet words. You can also remember English at the end of the exam and help you know some English words ~

Levels 3 and 4 (levels 4 and 5 in the new syllabus):

There is absolutely no need to take the exam at this level because it is of little value. The requirements for Japanese-related work are Grade II, and the requirements for studying abroad are Grade II in science and Liberal Arts 1. Band 4 feeling is only for some Japanese fans in Europe and America. China people can easily get to Grade 3.

CET-4 takes 2-3 months, and CET-4 to CET-3 takes about 2 months, but you must be exposed to Japanese every day. Don't buy exam-related materials, just look for real questions over the years on the Internet. Textbooks must be used, because this part of the exam is useless, but the test center is the basis of Japanese and the most important. 1 2 exams will not involve the test sites of grades 3 and 4, but the knowledge of grades 3 and 4 is the structure of oral English. If you don't want to be dumb, you must pay attention.

In the CET-4, you should master all the grammar points in the first volume of Standard Day, so that the words in the class can get high marks.

In the Level 3 exam, you should master the grammar points of Level 4, add at least the grammar words of the first 10 lesson in the second volume of standard day, and then do the real questions, so as to get high marks.

Textbooks for beginners and grades 3 and 4:

Still recommend the standard Japanese primary. Many people on the internet say that this book is not good, and it is really poor in terms of the standardization of words. But as lovers, we don't need to study Japanese grammar and grammar knowledge in depth, just choose the standard date. There is a reason why standard dates have been selling well for a long time. This book is a good introduction for self-learners.

Of course, if you want to learn Japanese in a standardized way, the textbook New Japanese for Japanese majors seems to be the only choice. However, this book is not on the same level as Standard Day and is not suitable for self-study. You can think about it, or read this book after standard day.

You only need to use the textbooks for the third and fourth grades. Students who want to do it quickly must also buy matching workbooks and practice one lesson every two classes to help them remember.

Secondary items:

My second-level Japanese learning process:

I started to work hard the next day after I signed up for level 2, in the morning. . . I got up at 1 1 (I went to bed late. . . Like reading at night). After brunch, I went to the library to read. The time is about 1 1: 30 to 12: 00. Usually go to dinner at 4: 30 in the afternoon, and then go back to the library to play psp or go back to the dormitory to watch an animation. Then start studying from 6: 30 to 7: 00, and then go back around 8: 30. Because the dormitory is noisy, the time from 8: 30 to 1 1: 30 can only be used to watch cartoons (practice listening). Next, do the questions from 1 1: 30 to 1: 00 (later changed to 12: 30 due to the decrease of computer battery life). This hour is when I feel at my best. When I feel at my best, I must use it to do the problem! When I'm in a bad state, I usually lie down and read words. Of course, I am often distracted. I will still look at the same page for 20 minutes, but it can also leave the impression of words in my mind.

I remember that on the first day of review, I chose to read a book first, because some people say that there are more Chinese characters in the first and second grades, so people in China will find reading easier than those in the third and fourth grades. In fact, this is all bullshit! Then it must be based on the existence of the words 1 and 2. At that time, I was above 340 in grade three, but I basically couldn't understand that reading. Confidence has collapsed. But if the above learning methods persist for one month, I will do the second-level real problem again, with 280 points. It was really easy to find level 2 at that time. After that, I relaxed for a long time, then reviewed for half a month before the exam and took more than 320 exams.

Tell me about the information I used for Level 2.

Reading: 35 days to break through the Japanese proficiency test: Level 2 reading, edited by Chai Hongmei (the articles in it are from short to long, with translations, vocabularies, proverbs, detailed explanations of topics and grammar, which feels very good. At first, the speed was one article a day. When I finish reading one third of this book, I will write two long articles and 4-5 short stories every day, trying to adapt to the exam questions. Attachment: The first article that touched me in this book. )

Dalian Publishing House (I don't like this book, it's basically real questions over the years, so it's meaningless to simulate real questions).

When reading, you must do questions every day, even if you only do one, and gradually learn to be familiar with Japanese thinking. Some people practice reading by reading novels. I've tried, and I often finish my lines because I'm eager to know the key plot. It didn't work at all, and then I stopped watching it.

Vocabulary: Japanese Proficiency Test Level 2 Text Vocabulary: Commentary (East China University of Science and Technology Press) I like this vocabulary very much because it is based on part of speech (noun verb. . . ) is better than "ぁぃぅぇぉぉぇぉぇぉぉぁぉぉぁぉぁぁぁぉぁぁぉぁ1

"Japanese Proficiency Test Level 2 Words and Vocabulary: Exercise Questions" (East China University of Science and Technology Press) (This is a supporting exercise question of the last book, but the number of questions is sufficient, but it feels general, and some answers are wrong, so I won't explain it in detail. Later, when I took the Level 1 exam, I found that many questions can be downloaded online. Don't buy anything that can get to the point. )

"Japanese Proficiency Test 1 Level, Level 2 Vocabulary Refinement" World Book Publishing Company (I don't like it, and the text typesetting like "ぁぃぅぇぉ" is not clear which is the first level and which is the second level. In fact, I think the first and second level vocabulary books must be bought separately, and don't be greedy for cheap! Because the vocabulary part of the exam is 1, it basically won't involve 2-4 words, just within the range of more than 2000 words at the first level. I didn't review the words in Level 2 when I took the Level 1 exam. At that time, many secondary words were forgotten. )

There are two ways for me to recite words. One way is to recite the words by doing the questions. You can find those words, color all the words in white, and then choose one to brush it in black. This kind of feeling won't make you bored because of your eyes full of problems. If you have a wrong question or don't even know the word of an option, stay and repeat it several times later. In addition, some people can't remember death, so they can only use the most stupid method-copying notes. I watched it when I was in the car, at dinner. I only read four or five books at a time and try to remember them for an hour. Sometimes when I suddenly remember Chinese words but forget what Japanese is, I must read the note, even when I am half asleep and half awake, so I remember it the most! P.S. My second-level word is 90, and my first-level word is 93.

As for the verbs mentioned here, many people say it is not easy to recite, and I also think it is really difficult to recite. I basically give up secondary verbs. This will not affect reading, because all verbs in reading will carry Chinese characters. But how do you score the text? Do more questions! The written verb score is less than 10, which is 4 points, and it is commonly used and often appears in many questions. There is a word question bank on the Internet with thousands of questions. Look at the verbs there, there will be no problem, not much.

Grammar: dialysis and breakthrough of the latest Japanese proficiency test level 2: Grammar Dalian Publishing House (Ai, is this book good or not? . It's really helpful and the grammar is complete, but it's so complete that even the first-level grammar includes some. . So I remembered the original struggle, but I reduced the number of recitations of the first-level exam)

Grammar is very vocabulary. My method is the same. I do problems and copy short articles. Similar together to compare memories!

Listening: Listening Comprehension of Japanese Proficiency Test Level 2 (with CD-ROM) Donghua University Press (this book is good, no less than the book published by East China University of Science and Technology Press. )

However, because I can't make a surprise hearing in a short time, I'm easily nervous during the exam, and I always think that the listening part of Level 1 or Level 2 can only affect the height of the paper, and will not affect whether it passes or not. So I basically take a laissez-faire attitude towards listening, and promise to watch cartoons every day, but I don't guarantee to listen to it every day. As a result, the first and second listening comprehension are over 50, which is very shameful. If you adopt a new test paper, you will fail.

True Question: Detailed explanation of the true question of Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2, China Aerospace Publishing House (it feels very good, with detailed explanation, adverb summary and Level 2 grammar at the end of the book. )

Half a month before the exam, I always set one set of real questions a day, sometimes two sets a day. After I finished, I recorded the wrong questions and reviewed them before the exam. Remember to do it according to the time of the exam, otherwise you may panic during the exam. I like to count the time in each of the four parts, answer some parts and start the next part, so I won't feel tired after two hours of simulation.

Textbook: standard day intermediate version (I haven't read the words and texts since the ninth lesson, but I have read the application of grammar in detail, otherwise the time will be too late. I feel that if you just want to take the exam, it is enough to read those pre-exam counseling books, and you don't need textbooks.

1 level articles

I'm too lazy to write first-class experience. Let's say a few words and share our feelings about some exam books I have read.

Grammar section

The book "Countermeasures for Mastering Grammar Problems of 1 Level Japanese Proficiency Test" was bought by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. I bought it because it was cheap, and then I saw 5 yuan before the exam. . The layout of the book is very good, with explanations and exercises, but the biggest drawback is that the first-level grammar involved is not comprehensive, especially the superclass does not exceed 100. As an introductory grammar book, it is still possible.

"Japanese proficiency test high score cheat sheet 1- grammar text"-Jiahe Japanese, foreign language institutions, not bad, can be used as a review book for the first time. Only if there are more questions and chapters in the content than 1 grammar, it is very suitable for me.

In fact, you can not buy either of the above two books. All 1 grammars have well summarized word versions, including hundreds of grammars in superclass. Print them out and just read a few articles every day. If you can't remember the explanation, you'd better ask questions. Let's review the four knowledge points of the four options. There are also thousands of downloads on the Internet.

Straight matter

"Japanese Proficiency Test 1 Words and Vocabulary: Explanation" I used the second-level book of East China University of Science and Technology Press. I like to recite words by part of speech, which is more systematic and not as boring as the 50-tone sequence. However, I didn't buy matching exercises this time, because there are many first-level exercises on the Internet, which can be downloaded from Hujiang and Coffee, and there are also electronic versions of exercise books that can be downloaded.

International Japanese proficiency test: Chinese characters? Nankai University Press seems that many Japanese majors use this book. I got it half a month before the exam. If you remember all the Chinese characters in this book, you will get high marks in the text section. But many words in it are really biased, and the exam is basically not involved. If you don't have time, just pick some confusing words and read them often.

There is also an electronic version of the Japanese proficiency test database (written vocabulary 1) published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. That's a good question. You must do it. The text part is to do more questions and ensure high scores!

"Japanese Proficiency Test High Score Cheat Sheet 1- Words and Vocabulary"-This Japanese book by Jiahe Foreign Languages Agency is really worth recommending! ! It is not a word book, nor an exercise book, but a super summary book. The main text is explained according to the types of questions, and a series of confusing places are summarized, such as the confusion of long and short words and the reading of special Chinese characters.

I used a lot of books in the writing part, because this part is the best surprise and there are many questions to do. If I am tired of reading, I will have a rest. In the text section, my scores of 1 and 2 are both 90+.

Reading part

The 35-day breakthrough Japanese proficiency test (1 level reading) was also bought by Southeast University Press, with one chapter a day, which is very interesting.

Be sure to read every day, and read Japanese novels in your spare time, so that you can train yourself not to be upset during the long reading, and you must count the time when you do the questions.

aural comprehension

Listening comprehension in Japanese proficiency test (1) is the first choice for ordinary people. . There is really no other choice. . There are many real questions in the book. There is an auspicious solution. And teach you listening methods or something. There are no other good books anyway. Those who don't watch Japanese dramas should buy them.

"The Latest Japanese Proficiency Test 1 Dialysis and Breakthrough of Test Sites: Listening Comprehension" Dalian Publishing House has a detailed division of listening vocabulary, which is quite good. The content is not all real questions, especially the seven sets of simulation exercises should not be real questions, but the difficulty is relatively large and the speech speed is passable. The key is that there is only one piece of audio in the attached CD, which lasts for n hours. I recorded a few minutes before the beginning of each chapter. . . Too much trouble! Buyers are cautious.

Um ... I have no say in this part. I can only guarantee more than one episode of animation every day, and then I will listen to the real questions later. . This thing won't go up in a short time. To ensure other grades, a listening score of 50 is enough.

All the scores in the new P.s grade exam must reach the passing score to pass the exam! I hope that students who have made achievements in listening can also introduce their experiences when they have time!

Total: I still have two and a half months to graduate, so I will study hard for the exam. I gave up a lot. Others love each other on their graduation trip. I added a reference to my work. . . But the result is gratifying. Reading does not guarantee reading every day, but you must read whenever you have time. What should I do if I am tired? Listen to Japanese songs and watch cartoons to find the motivation to learn Japanese at first.

Answer a typical question: Is it worthwhile to give up your major if you want to do translation or Japanese work?

It is wrong to give up your major in order to learn a language. If you give up, you and the language majors are not competitive. Unless you work harder than them, you can be better than the professional students. Imagine that if you need Japanese translation in your professional field in the future, your competitive advantage will be obvious, instead of being ignorant of this field like Japanese majors. In addition, if you are a science student, whether you are majoring in Japanese or not, your future is quite bright. ..

In addition, if you want to engage in translation in the future, you need to make more efforts. Level 1 is not a qualification certificate for Japanese translation, but the lowest threshold for Japanese-related work, because its examination design is so unscientific that many people with low ability have passed it, which greatly reduces the gold content of this certificate. Many capable people don't need a certificate to knock on the door. In addition, the translators of many good companies are returnees, not because of the high requirements, but because more and more people go to Japan to study, which leads to the reduction of employment requirements for returnees. I have seen that the customer service positions of some companies have actually begun to recruit returnees. And I know that some Japanese graduates can't do translation, but the starting salary is quite low. The salary of 2-3K is really not suitable for such hard physical and mental work as translation.

I don't mean to hurt you, but I just want to emphasize that translation is really not as good as you think. You must also make considerable efforts. Be sure to be mentally prepared! In addition, it is suggested to join some animation or novel translation groups, translate some works and make records, which may be valuable points for future translation!
