It is a conservative estimate that if you study hard according to these two sets of Japanese learning plans (taking into account Japanese speaking and grading), then not only will it be easy to score about 170 points (full score is 180) in the N1 Japanese test, but also Japanese speaking You will also be more satisfied with your training.
Throughout the entire Japanese learning career, every one of us who learns Japanese cannot avoid self-study. Regardless of whether we are from a major or not and have a teacher to teach us, sooner or later we need to learn and improve ourselves.
is now very different from more than ten years ago. At that time, there were not so many books on the market for learning Japanese. Even some books had to be sparingly practiced, because after all, the number of valuable books was limited, and if they were not used appropriately After practicing for a long time, there may not be any suitable books for subsequent training. However, things are different now. Not only are hundreds of Japanese books on the market every year, but with the developed e-commerce, you can buy all the Japanese books you want. Almost no one will read all the books before the exam, let alone practice them carefully. , and there is no need to read them all.
Now, we have more choices for reference materials for learning Japanese, but the quality of the books inevitably varies. This is the main reason for recommending reference books this time. (It is not directed at any publishing house, training institution, or author. The recommended books have nothing to do with the interests of myself, my relatives and friends)
Regarding the quality of books on the market, I remembered that when I was still in school at Beijing Foreign Studies University, a cultural company once approached me to edit. Book (unsigned), I thought it was too early to accept it at the time. You can think about it. This logic already existed seven or eight years ago (referring to hiring someone to write the book for you). Do you need to keep your eyes open when choosing books now? .
I know that everyone has no shortage of Japanese learning materials now. If you buy Japanese textbooks online, you may get hundreds of gigabytes of video tutorials. However, many students who learn Japanese still feel that they have no way to start and give up halfway, so they used their spare time last year to compile two The main framework for learning Japanese.

Listening training methods
Listening is like writing. It does not depend on which words or books you have memorized. Done. There are no shortcuts.
must first accumulate vocabulary and grammar. Without a certain amount of vocabulary, you will not get high scores in listening, and guessing is not suitable for early review. The foundation must be solid, this is the first step.
Secondly, you must constantly listen to the real questions. One thing to note here is that it is not recommended to finish all the real questions from recent years within one month, and then dig out all the listening skills and listen carefully.It is recommended to test a set of real questions in about half a month on average, and then understand all the questions in this set, including the listening part. Now that the test has been completed, you can use every sentence and word of the listening test in detail. Think about it, listen to it repeatedly, and pay attention to how each paragraph and sentence develops in the listening, familiarize yourself with the context of Japanese expression, and enhance your ability to speculate.
Finally, watch some Japanese dramas without subtitles. Be familiar with the Japanese context. Of course, it can also be animation and video news. It is best to take some notes with a pen while listening and develop the habit of recording important information.
2. Experience
Vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading, etc., try to go hand in hand, and no one can fall behind.
Among them, listening and reading require a large amount of time (referring to more than 1 hour) for concentrated training, which requires a high degree of concentration.
Vocabulary and grammatical content are weakly related, so you can make appropriate use of fragmented time to learn. These two items require special attention to transfer learning. Among them, grammar points and vocabulary that look similar or have similar Chinese meanings need to be reviewed and analyzed frequently and memorized repeatedly.
needs to be improved step by step in various trainings, and avoid being too hasty and watching things happen. Example: If the N3 grammar error rate is higher than 50% (probable), it may be necessary to start learning again from N5.
Listening and reading require a lot of training. Pick the topics you are most interested in first (for example: variety shows, interviews, Japanese dramas, news, audio books, etc.) to reduce fatigue.
In terms of planning study time, try to arrange it as compactly as possible. For example, finish learning N5 grammar in one month. Don't procrastinate, don't lengthen the front line, otherwise you may forget faster than you remember, which will destroy your confidence.
Don’t just collect learning methods, collect information. If you are determined to learn, act immediately!
During the learning process, stay away from distractions. Especially when training listening and reading, it is best to mute or turn off electronic devices.
When setting learning goals, you can be slightly higher than your own learning speed, and try to complete the plan a little ahead of time to increase your enthusiasm with continuous small progress.
Pronunciation is very important! If you don't understand the material, it's likely that you can't read it accurately, resulting in instant recognition failure and slow response.
Stay positive and don’t give up halfway.
3. Original intention
When I saw Japanese textbooks for learning Chinese a few years ago, I couldn’t help but marvel at the diversity of their contents and their advancement with the times. The purpose of sharing Japanese learning reference books this time is to give everyone more ways to learn Japanese well. I hope it can help everyone learn Japanese faster and more efficiently.
also considered fun when selecting reference books, hoping to slightly relieve everyone's fatigue during the learning process, reduce the probability of giving up midway, and go further.
