Wanikani July JLPT Community Event (aka Joint Mock JLPT on July 4th, home thread)

I’m very interested in hearing if anyone has any cool strategies!

I will start my “progress report” by saying that I have no idea what I’m doing :joy:
I’ve never actually studied for a jlpt before, only Japanese in general, which is kinda different because you can just learn things in whatever order you want.
I picked the N3 even though I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t pass it if I tried it right now. Will I at least get by in 4 months? Questionable, but who doesn’t like a challenge :laughing: I have hope.

Current endeavours:

  • I’ve completed the N3 grammar points on bunpro, and I’m currently watching the 日本語の森 N3 playlist to get a better grasp of things
  • Vocab: I think I should roughly (almost) know the amount of words required for N3, except different ones. A rough check via Anki (+ unofficial N3 lists) tells me I have a bit under a thousand words left to learn. (Help.) 9-10 words a day over the next 3-4 months, sounds doable but no clue if I can keep that up. Here’s to trying. :woman_shrugging:
    I usually get my words from reading material and I would like to continue that for the most part, we’ll see how that works out…
  • Listening: ??? My worst skill. I’m 95% sure I’m gonna fail this part no matter what I do over the next couple of months. I listen to podcasts sometimes or the stories on Satori Reader, but probably not nearly enough. Not sure what to do about this one except, well, listen more…

buddies :fist_right: :fist_left:
