[MoxLotus]

can recommend a good place to learn japanese? i'm beginner only.

go buy genki textbook and self study. u can pass N4 in 6 mths with constant effort put in.

 

[dimitri_can]

MoxLotus, did u self study as well?

 

[jeremiahtong]

Wow! That means bypassing N5 and taking N4 in 6 months just by studying Genki I or/and Genki II? That is commendable! Care to share your study plan etc?

 

[dimitri_can]

If studying Japanese is just to pass JLPT, i think there's no point in studying at all.

If there's some financial issues, pls come to me. I don't mind teaching for free, if there's really genuine cases.

Hello

I'm a new reader of this forum. I had been studying at Bunka since their elementary class up to pre - advanced class. However , after trying out Bunka's pre - advanced class , I does not quite like the structure of the class there...

I am thinking of going to Ikoma to continue learning japanese. Does anyone know Bunka pre-advance 1 is almost equivalent to which level in Ikoma?

Also , how is Ikoma class?

I just realized that I am pretty weak in my vocabulary part and I can't respond fast enough if people speak to me in Japanese... Is there any way to improve on that?

 

[dimitri_can]

My answers in blue.

Hello

I'm a new reader of this forum. I had been studying at Bunka since their elementary class up to pre - advanced class. However , after trying out Bunka's pre - advanced class , I does not quite like the structure of the class there...

-I joined their PA3 and stopped going after attending 2 lessons...

I am thinking of going to Ikoma to continue learning japanese. Does anyone know Bunka pre-advance 1 is almost equivalent to which level in Ikoma?

-In Bunka, PA1 is roughly equivalent to their Pre-Advanced in Ikoma.

Also , how is Ikoma class?

-Ikoma's pre-advanced a lot of conversation, but doesn't really prepare you much for JLPT. So it's kinda a give and take... Sometimes lessons can be a bit dry...sometimes interesting.

I just realized that I am pretty weak in my vocabulary part and I can't respond fast enough if people speak to me in Japanese... Is there any way
to improve on that?

-It's a common problem among students. You are not the only one. For now, i guess you should start watching simple anime with subtitles like Doraemon, Slayers, etc to help build up your vocabulary and listening. Once your listening is better, i think your vocabulary will slowly become better.

PM me if you wanna me to do a level check for you.
