JLPT Level 1 group?

[tamunra]

Is anyone interested in forming an online support group for 日本語迫ﾍ試験一級？I've got books here, but without others to trade stories of studying struggles with, it's hard to stay movitated.

よろしくお願いします

I passed last year, but I'd be happy to join another 一級 this year. Lord knows I could use the practice.

去年も試みたのですが挫折したようです。ぜひ、挑戦してください。

Only 118 more days left!

I am still playing with it, but when we move TJP to the new setup, the organic groups feature sounds perfect for group studies like this.

If it works, count me in for the JLPT 1 study group too!

so how's this study group going?

I am preparing for level 1 this year. I did hesitate about applying because I would not be fully prepared and I do not want to study just for the sake of passing the examination. For your reference I am not attending a course and I have no teacher.

However, I decided to take the examination anyway even if it results in a fail.

I do not spend too much time on the grammar as it is not really useful, and as I have already passed kanken level 2, kanji should not be a problem. My effort is focused on the listening and vocabulary because they are the areas where I can work on without falling into the "study to pass" mode. So far it has not been easy to find the time but I am trying to spend a little time every day.

Is there anybody studying for level one this year?

JLPT Level 1 is the hardest isn't it?

[hungryhotei]

yes

[Buggier]

So will there be any study group for JLPT1? I'm planning to take it next year.

You might as well count me in. I don't think I passed L1 this year and even if I did, I would like to retake it to get a better score.

If a group is to be started, we need to work out a study strategy and the materials to use BEFOREHAND. Logging on to the chat room without an aim just wastes time so I regret to say that I will not take part in a L1 study group without these prerequisites. (I assume that you also have a full time job with limited time to study.)
