Hi all,

I have my plan for kanji, vocab and grammar sorted, but I'm still wondering what the best ways of revising reading and listening are, specifically tailored for the JLPT2.

If anyone who's already passed the test has any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.

Cheers,

SSK

I'm in the same boat, but still undecided between 1 and 2. I'd like some listening questions at least to gauge my ability so I can choose...

edit: found this, has listening tests http://japanese.human.metro-u.ac.jp/mic-j/home-e.html

I'm stuyding for JLPT 2 as well.
But here is what I found helpful:
生の日本語) This book focuses on natural Japanese recorded in the actual enviorment. The written textbook part is written in Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese and is really simple with all the notes on even the simplest forms of grammar but the actual listening will probably surpass the actual test in difficulty.

毎日聞き取り50日1&2）I have both of these books and I liek them, they are geared more for N2 but they have additional levels. I find these books to be the bridge between hearing 2 words a minute to understanding the basic plot of a story or conversation. I also like the pictures. ;3


the ACTUAL listening questions) This is what the format and general difficulty of the questions will be like. I think this will help you dizmox.

I also downloaded all the Core6000(with 2000) sentences audioand put into an itunes playlist. There is no pauses in-between though. XD

@gyuujuice
nice link, I'm doing the practice tests now for all the levels, gives a good feel for each test, plus they have a link where it's all in japanese which is even better.

Your welcome, I have a Japanese friend who works for a Japanese-Learning company and he sent me a couple of JLPT books. I was browsing some of the books available here are some reading/listening books:
