JLPT? it bring backs memories

Passed level 3 after 8 month learning japanese.
the next year, I and my comrades are suppose to sit for level 2 and 1, but I didnt go for the exam. Instead, I was having winter holiday with my family at UK

but level2 is so kacang that everyone passed with high scores...exept me who did not take the exam... but nobody passed level 1. the highest point is less3-5 points for the level 1 marks...



hmmm... I wish I could try level 1 once I return to malaysia.

Amazing thread. If i learn everything on this thread..will i be able to understand those anime?? Jae panese do talk very fast dont they

I wanna ask is the Declan's Flashcard software for learning Kanji still working??I tried downloading but it seems like forever

Since the main topic revolves around learning japanese, is anyone interested in translating for a scanlating group? The work involves translating raws (scanned mangas from the Jump comics in Japan) to english. My scanlating group is currenly having a dearth of translators and hoping that one will come soon as we would like to be able to release one chapter per week.

This is my first post so do tell me if I'm posting it in the wrong place

Thanks in advance

The reason the download's taking forever is probably because of the internet slowdown these days. Just wait till they fix the underwater cables.

Well, we do have our very own Malaysian anime subbing group born from this community here. Heard of Anime Shrine [ASH]? They subbed FMP sometime back.

Unfortunately, I havent heard of Anime Shrine but hey, there's a first time for everything and its interesting to know that we have fellow Malaysians who are able to sub animes
Malaysia Boleh!

gambareba yahari dekimasu yo

is there any file available for newbies to put it in mp3 player and listen to it and learn jap ?

Wow~....you said Level2 is so kacang?????
I thought the higher you go the tougher it comes....

Someone told be before (that was a long, long time ago) that if you pass Level1 you are then almost pass for a native.
Don't know how far the thruth though...

level 3 is the easy one, level 2 is a big leap from level 3, alot of my classmates who were older than i am took it multiple times but still couldnt pass and we were learning at the japanese foundation at the menara citibank. this was in 2002 though.

If u take japanese classes in most japanese language institute do they give u certificate or something? There will be exams right..? What's JLPT..? >.<

JPLT: Japanese Language Proficiency Test
There are 3 levels: Level 3 (the easiest), Level 2 (Intermediate) and Level 1 (advance).
This is a standard exam for all foreigners (termed Gaijin-'alien' in Japanese).
Meaning to say, regardless of the country you're from, you sit the same exam.
During the 90s, most of the top scorers for Level 2 and Level 1 are Malaysian.

Level 3 focuses more on the recognition of their alphabets plus simple words and grammars

Level 2 focuses more on day-to-day conversation with the ability to read/inteprete their Kanjis.
Hearing test is introduced at this level.
Writing essay is also introduced here.
That's why people called this level is a 'giant leap from level 3'.

So imagine bros, what would you encounter in Level 1.....
That was during early 90s. I do not know whether the curriculum has changed since then.

Most universities/colleges in Japan now require you to pass Level 2 before you are given permission to sit for their enrollment test.
My advise to you:
Unless it's required, don't sit for Level 1.
Instead, take Level 2 and go to Japan. Mingle with their community (make friends, etc), stay there for at least a year, get back and take Level 1. You'll pass with flying colours.

But carefull guys, I had a friend long time ago who went to Japan just 'to have a taste' and end up living there for 15 years. He said "life over there too shiok leh..! Totally different from PJ worr...."
What did he do over there? You don't want to know. The last job that he had was a 'special messenger' to the underworld lords...

^
Special messenger huh...sounds very suspicious to me! Heh. Wuh, level 1 for JLPT sounds hard, from the way u said it.

Frenz, I've posted this elsewhere, but all of you here seem like good hearted people, so just a little note to help you further along the cultural path:

People serious about JP must first learn that being lazy and saying "jap" is not acceptable to many JPNS. Sometimes it's felt to be the same as the "N-word" for Blacks or to be called a Chink Gook or Chinaman.

Thank you I was just about to correct him/her , I am japanese and it's quite offending. It's the same as calling the chinese "chinks" , same effect on me you'd be suprised how many ppl i've corrected via PM. Thank you for highligting the mistake.

Thanx for understanding everyone , nihongo ganbatte ne~
