I've been studying Japanese for almost three years now and actually made it to a pretty nice level (I'm taking the
JLPT N1 next Sunday and it seems I can even pass it), but I often feel I'm lacking some kind of "intelligent" vocabulary apart from epic lists we had to learn by heart for university purposes. I blame it on almost exclusively reading Japanese manga and light novels (novels for a mostly male audience from teenage to early twenties, mostly including some illustrations in manga-style) instead of "real books", so I decided to put more emphasis on reading those. The Advanced Challenge of course seemed like a good chance to do so a bit more systematically, which is why I registered for it. I'm also doing writing and watching of course, though the new consuming of books will probably have an effect on my lang-8 entries and give me ideas, and for watching I'm kind of "hopeless" - I don't think I can get rid of my Otaku-Addiction here. Anyway, I've been reading more "classical" stuff recently: one short story by Arishima Takeo and two by Akutagawa Ryûnosuke. At the moment, the inspiration on what to read comes from a manga I like that makes fun of certain stories/novels/poems through the chapter titles. However, I'm always open to suggestions, so if you know a novel in Japanese I should absolutely read - tell me! Apart from my own blog and my twitter, this will now be my place to keep track of what I read and what else I'm doing for my Japanese to improve :) Edited by Umin on 29 June 2012 at 5:24am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

As I have the N1 going on tomorrow, all I did today was taking one last mock exam before I finally allowed myself to
relax before the test. I didn't really score that super-well, but it was a passing score (130/180) and I hope I can repeat at least the same thing tomorrow and pass the JLPT. That would already give me quite some confidence with my Japanese. 1 person has voted this message useful |
