some of the good books i saw there with the recommendation from my friends (as i am from NTU), i bought it and kino and left it at my home leh..

to recommend some books which i frequently used it to teach grammer are:

the above are 3 different books, i suggest buying the yellow for beginners

my penpal recommend this (japanese for busy ppl) for me (as i am busy) to use it for self leisure study... i won't strongly recommend unless u are really interested in in depth basic japanese language.. i recommend the kana version...

they are abit expensive though... try to get it from Japan...

Ouh... I might be jumping to N4 or N3, depending on finances & time.
You never know what's going to happen in the future..

And who from Gokusen? Is it one of the main characters?

To introduce yourself to Japanese pen pals, you must be polite and know the correct things to say.
First, use polite terms like 貴様 (kisama).
Then ask how are they doing.
Like this..

こんにちは。
嘗めとんのか、貴様。

hi ppl, I have been seeing something about this year would be the last year for JLPT and next year there would be a new system in this thread. I tried looking at the previous posts and JCS website but I could not find any information on it leh. Can someone explain a bit or provide the link about the new system?

 

[babygwing]

Based on what I understand so far, they've decided on a new system for JLPT mainly to address the level difference between JLPT 3 and JLPT 2. I could be wrong though. ^^

Murr... I wanted to post the direct link for you but apparantly I do not have sufficient post count to do that. Sorry... -.-''

I got the link from goggling new jlpt 2010. It's the second link listed. Hope this helps! =)
