Next time just YouTube or Google : Minna no Nihongo

It's one of the most resourceful textbook/ material to learn lessons. Try following her videos: https://youtu.be/gi2AeYO-g8E

minna no nihongo is pretty much the standard for JLPT, but for those tht wanna buy straight buy the original version not the english remake version. even tho content same, original version used more kanji while the remake version used more hiragana to write those kanji.

best way to improve, go sign up for the japanese library at midvalley, ask the reception for tadoku. start reading from lv0 and keep moving onto the list. tadoku is a method where u read a lot of storybook to improve ur language skill (japanese use this method to learn other languages), u start from the easiest, u move on when u fully understand 1 book.

its a fun and non boring way to improve

Have not heard of "tadoku" so I looked it up a bit. Agree that it's interesting and helpful to learn... it's a supplementary method to studying, provided the person likes reading hahaha. Generally I notice that Japanese enjoys reading. One of the reason I'm learning Japanese is because I'd like to read Japanese novels/ books. Have left the "manga" scene but I still enjoy reading whenever I get the time to do so.

Too bad there's no "tadoku" app for Japanese. They created the app for English.

The tadoku sounds like how we learnt languages when we were young too. Hahaha we read or got our parents to read story books for us.

Sorry, forgot this part. I live in KL.

I have seen this schedule by JFKL but they are night classes (6:30 PM - 8:45 PM) during weekdays. I normally finish my work at 7:00 PM and will likely be too tired to attend any night class after that.

So, weekend class is my best option.

Wait! You mean the Japanese Graded Series? I've been reading it... without realizing it's "多読”. 2 more books to finish Level 2. I saw Level 3 books and it's getting deeper. The books were really interesting and somewhat educational (on facts and customs etc). Yes I recommend this series too biggrin.gif

Other than JFKL there are other institutions in KL itself. This is a list from JFKL. Suggest you call up several centres near you to enquire about weekend classes:

I agree. Also, when there are different levels of Japanese proficiency members in a common group - it's hard to fully use Japanese to communicate.

i believe there r two diff sets for the tadoku, the one i read is another set with diff story. the 1 u read is under tadoku too but diff series, they do serve the same purpose.
u bought the physical copy for this?

look at the story title, it should b diff from the series u read

Hahaha no, i didn't purchase it. One of my classmate has some of the collections... so borrow from her. It's pricey sweat.gif

Hmm so there's another set. I've not seen it but would love to give it a try. You purchased it online? Or read it at JKFL Library?

Thank you for your suggestion. It really depends on the level of Japanese the members have before I able to set this rule. I think I will discuss with the rest on this first smile.gif

How expensive are those books? DO you know the price? Maaannnn, seems like it would be an effective way to learn. I tried to use Japanese text in RPG games I play.... but a little too advanced I think. Especially with all the kanji. rclxub.gif

As chinti said - i think it's around there. Don't think it's a good idea to buy them though. For one time read (in my opinion).

If you have read their post on adding members to the chat, I'm sure you would have seen my post asking interested members to PM one of them directly.
