JLPT N1 Prep

　Day 9 Oct 21st Actually had some progress today! Got off from work early, spended an hour in the library and was able to get two chapters of grammar down =D In the evening I was able to look up some vocabulairy for 15 minutes and after that I got the grammar books again to review. Some of the grammer looks really alike so I went on the interwebz to ask someone about the differences. It's nice to have online teachers =) Nihongo no mori is awesome! Waiting for an answer now ^^ Day 10 Oct 22nd Work~~ Day 11 Oct 23th Got two hours of grammar study done! (And work) Day 12 Oct 24th Work, evening shift. Day 13 Oct 25th Pre-Halloween party Day 14 Oct 26th Two hours of grammar! Starting to feel happy about this progress. I might get all the grammer done in time =D Day 15 Oct 27th Work Day 16 Oct 28th Lazy day, recharge, the washing etc. Day 17 Oct 29th Got desperate today.... There is soooo much more to learn and I wasn't able to get even one right answer in the reading exercise....　　Especialy　the　paragraph　below.　At　first　I　was　like,　hey　I　can　understand　what it says! But then the question came....　And there was one answer that I thought of as complete nonsence. And you know what? That happend to be the correct answer! 次期首相を誰にするかなんて物騒な相談をしている政治家であろうが、夜更けのコンビニの前に座り込んでメールをしているガキであろうが、どんなやつでも構わない。とにかく携帯を使っている人間を見かけるたびに、ほくそ笑んでいるに違いない。言葉を発するたびに漏れている息が、札束に見えてるんじゃないか。 誰の目に札束に見えてるのか？

ATTEMPTING JLPT N1

So I am taking the JLPT N1 this December! I wil be flying out to London for this. (Yay~!) To keep track of my progress I will take notes here. I want to try this since I read this blogpost earlier today: http://www.cute-pop.com/attempting-jlpt-n1-2/ Sadly I don't have Japanese classes and I do have a fulltime job so I hope I can make enough time for studying. First of all I use the Shin Kanzen Master books to prepaire for the test. According to the book most chapters take 1 to 2 hours to complete. I also realy like and recomand the teachers an lessons at www.nihongonomori.com ! Also gives me the feeling I am taking real lessons while I'm not. Including the work I have already done and the things I want to review I plan to at least finish this workload before December: Grammar: 62 hours Kanji: 38 hours Vocabulairy: 46 hours Reading: Reading before bedtime at least 3 times a week Nihongo no mori: one day a week There is around 50 days left until the test so my updates will go out once or more a week until the test is over. Wish me luck! DAY 1 Oct 13th Mainly prepaired to study. Cleaned my desk, gathered my books... It is importand to have a good learning surrounding! After work I met up with a friend and he told me he is also going to London for the N2! I'm not alone =D But after that I didn't review anything. DAY 2 Oct 14th I got off early from work and went to study grammer in the library for an hour. Progress: Grammar, one hour. Japanese news 15 minutes. Vocabulairy list 1 page.
