Spam removed

I sort of abandoned this site for the past year. I was unmotivated to study any more for the JLPT for a period of time, and I was busy with other work so I didn't look at the site - and I discovered we had been spammed bad! I've cleaned out all the spam, and all the spam accounts, and added some extra security measures, including updating all the software. So this site should theoretically work a lot better now, and without all the bots.

 

My apologies to anyone who may have come to the site in that time. Things should be better now.

 

Welcome to JLPT Study

Hello Welcome to JLPT Study. This site has been created with the intention of becoming a community site for people studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. I myself took and passed level 2 of the JLPT in 2008. My goal for this site is to make it a complete study area for the JLPT. On that note, I have decided the site will definitely need the following areas:

Did you write the last JLPT test?

This past JLPT (July 4th)

I got a little distracted with work for the last few months, and wasn't studying for the JLPT unfortunately. But, now that things have calmed down, I'm back in study mode. My goal - N1 in December. My good friend Dron wrote the N1 on July 4th. He said it was pretty hard - he thought he had studied quite well, but there were kanji on there he hadn't even seen before. Overall, he said the test seemed more difficult than when he wrote L1 last December.

 

Burning out on Japanese Study

So I burned out a little over the last couple months on studying Japanese, as you may have noticed from my lack of posting. I've been working particularly hard and not had a lot of time for study, and at times when I know I probably should be studying, I find myself not doing so.

 

How do you guys get over times like this? What methods do you use to push past that hump?

How long have you been studying Japanese?

New JLTP guidelines

Finally they have released a study book the new JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) test. So far they have only released a book for level N1. I picked it up on the weekend.

醜い vs. 見にくい

Both of these are read the same way - みにくい (minikui). The first one means ugly (or as some of us say - fugly), though the dictionary gives 'unattractive'. 見にくい on the other hand means 'difficult to see'. Which, could be the same thing really!

This kanji has two readings that I know of:

1) 訊ねる - たずねる - tazuneru
2) 訊く - きく - kiku

Both of these mean 'to ask' or 'to inquire'.
