learning japanese

[03_168]

I've just ordered my denshi jisho from Amazon.jp
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B001P7OMCO
interested parties can go take a look because i have observed the price and exchange rate for some time now. I think its now a good time to buy.

Item ~ 300SGD
Shipping ~25SGD (vpost cause they do not ship internationally)
Total ~325

Hi, is there insurance coverage for your purchase? I've been wanting to get an electronic dictionary too, and your method seems to be the cheapest. But I did a quick search on vPOST website and found that shipping items are not insured - correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's rather risky to ship a $300+ item without insurance. What if it gets lost or is damaged during the journey? On a related note, is there any warranty?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I think you better direct your question to vpost. But i can tell you that during the payment of vpost shipping there is an option of buying insurance which is like ~17SGD

don't be worried. EMS items won't get lost so easily.

 

[dimitri_can]

Do you know where we can get this in Singapore? I have a gut feel that Chinese is close to Japanese than English. So having Chinese explanation might be more useful. Am i right?

 

[dimitri_can]

yes... i have another version of the same book, but in taiwan version.

UPDATE: Book bought. Will be coming in 1 or 2 weeks time. =)

yah, for upper levels, i feel that chinese explanation is better than english ones...

yah, for upper levels, i feel that chinese explanation is better than english ones...

Yeaz...i like to look at both english and chinese explanations.
The notes from Ikoma contain both.I am relying on that...lolz...

O level Japanese??? got such thing?

Yes,there is such a thing called O lv japanese.
But,i heard the progress is uber slow.
People rather take courses outside than at MOE language centre.

There is A levels japanese also.

 

[Niaoson]

i beg to differ. MOE language centre's students have considerable standards

 

[dimitri_can]

Niaosan さんはまさか。。MOELCで勉強したことがある？

 

[Niaoson]

うん、そうよ。というか、今そこで勉強している。まさかｄｉｍｉｔｒｉ＿ｃａｎさんって、そこの先生なの

 

[dimitri_can]

さすが。。。

エレベルですか。。

私はまだそのレベル。。。

ただ１級の学生です。

Niaosonさんに比べて、私の能力は想像にかたくない。
