I was searching the forums for info on the N3 and found a similar thread from the December test. I figured, now that applications are open for the July 2019 test (in Japan at least), it’s good time to start a new study group!
Feel free to post anything below—grammar or vocabulary questions, study materials, textbooks, online resources, etc.
Textbooks I’m using (so far):
- 新完全マスターN3・読解 (Extremely helpful so far!)
- 新完全マスターN3・文法
- 新完全マスターN3・聴解
- 日本語総まとめN3・語彙 (I like the organization of this series for learning vocabulary, but it seems like it would not be sufficient for learning brand-spankin’ new grammar)
I’m also trying to study grammar with BunPro and kanji with…er, WaniKani.
I’m most worried about grammar since I don’t encounter a big portion of it in the wild in my current living/working situation, and I don’t have much of an opportunity to use it either.
Also if anyone has a recommendation for learning Japanese onomatopoeia, I’d also be appreciative! I took a practice test and the questions about onomatopoeia went completely over my head…
