Hello. How's your paper?

 

[dimitri_can]

ちょっと難しいけど、大丈夫だと思います。合格できると思います。

 

[PingJun]

dimitri_can san, I need your advice.

Starting this week, I will start on pre-advance course. Is there any reference book suitable for this level? I have thought of buying JLPT 2 books but then I think it might be too early to buy now.

Btw, I remember you mentioning about Minna no nihongo intermediate version. Where did you get yours? Because I don't remember seeing them just now.

 

[dimitri_can]

It can only be bought from Japan currently...

You should start getting this book to revise on your vocab.. Good book.

shin nihongo no chikyuu

hello, i just came back from orchard kino. think i did quite well for my jlpt 3. hope can pass with good marks =)

i think the books u are refering to is the shin nihongo no chikyuu. i just bought the main textbook, the translation one and the grammar one from kino.

these are the textbooks they are using are pre adv at ikoma i think. i just enrolled in jlpt 2 prep course at ikoma. was deciding between pre advanced or jlpt prep, in the end i chose prep cause 3 years is too long, but i think it would be better for those who have time and money, lol. pre advanced at ikoma according to the sensei over there who talked to me is more of conjugation of all the grammar that u have learnt now, more on coversation, thus more relaxed, but less focus on jlpt 2 grammar, vocab and kanji, if u are aiming jlpt 2, and have money and time, take both. if not u can buy the pre advcanced book, study on ur own and try to build up conversation and reading skills, can attend the jlpt2 prep course for the grammar, vocab and kanji and to chiong for level 2 next year.

 

[kazekai]

btw does anyone studying at ikoma knows what books they using for the advanced class and jlpt 2 classes?

dimitri, can share what is the title of the book u are talking about? btw thnx for the help for the other day =)


eh one more thing to ask, a bit too late ah, but what's the difference between the shin nihongo no chikyuu series tt i bought and the Minna no nihongo Chukyu

JLPT 2 Classes: No book, all printouts.

Advanced class book: 中級から学ぶ

 

[kazekai]

hmm, thnx, i saw ur post and research a bit online, what i meant was what are the main differences between the content?

do the notes for jlpt 2 notes cover all the grammar shown in the minna no nihongo pictures that u show me?

 

[dimitri_can]

みんなの日本語中級１は　３級と　２級の　間で、　分からないことが学べます。
２級は本当に　難しすぎて、若し来年の２級を受けたら、やっぱり、２級の準備クラスがいいと思います.

 

[kazekai]

hmm, thnx a lot for the explanation =)

so the books tt i bought are they useful for my level now? sorry to ask now like a bit too late since i bought them already. =(

i'm trying to chiong for 2 next year, think jlpt prep course would be good for me too.

 

[dimitri_can]

U can MSN me for a level check. =)

I'll send my MSN to your private msg box

 

[dimitri_can]

kazekai, if u wanna chiong for JLPT 2, u need to work v v hard. Even though u take prep course. =)

 

[kazekai]

dun worry i will chiong like there is no tml! lol, any extra books that ikoma reccomend u to buy? =) or their notes for prp class is sufficient, i'm more worried about listening part, sighs.

 

[dimitri_can]

what's hesitating u? I am just a MSN msg away. lol

I need more info from u first. It will help me to advise u better.

[ahmahippo]
