How to Pass JLPT N1 ~ Gaiwa

http://www.gaiwa.co/2014/03/how-to-pass-jlpt-n1.html

Travel Tips and Tricks. Saturday, March 15, 2014. How to Pass JLPT N1. The moment I knew I had passed N1 I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. I had just beaten the absolute hardest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. The one only around 30% of people pass each year. Then came the idea to document as much as I could of my study preparations, in order to help future test takers. That's when I decided to make a guide to passing N1, as well as other JLPT articles. Misconceptions about JLPT N1.

Travel Tips and Tricks. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Who are the Ainu? Hey readers, do me a quick favor. I want you to close your eyes, and visualize a person from Japan. Not anyone you know personally, but someone you're bound to encounter soon after stepping off the plane in Tokyo. Someone who you would consider as an ethnic Japanese person. Okay, open your eyes. Do you have an image in your mind? And what if I were to ask you to visualize a person who very well may have existed in ancient Japan? Back in 20...

Travel Tips and Tricks. I'm Rin, an American with a passion for things Japanese. Online you might know me as Bokusenou, one of my online aliases, or Rin, a Japanese name I heard when I was just beginning to learn Japanese and liked, which stuck soon after and became my nickname. I'm been learning Japanese on and off for about 15 years now, and I've passed level 1 (N1) of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. I am a strong believer in the power of self-study, and support the idea that, contrary to the p...

Travel Tips and Tricks. Hi, I’m Jemma, the eldest but by no means most mature staff member here at gaiwa. I am self-taught and am currently taking my first tentative steps into advanced level study after what felt like a very long stay at intermediate. After graduation, I spent a year teaching English at a Nova school in Shinyurigaoka, kanagawa. At the time, I lived in the town of Ikuta, which boasts being the setting of the anime series ‘Welcome to the NHK’. So as I stand at the threshold of advanced le...

Travel Tips and Tricks. Sunday, June 29, 2014. Tsuki ni kawatte oshioki yo! S 20th anniversary was in 2012, and it brought with it new merchandise, new music, new musicals, and the announcement of a new series. Just like that the majority of the old Sailor Moon. Fandom revived, and then found out they'd be waiting an additional two years for anything about it. Even now, there's still a lot of mystery about the new series. Will we see glimpses of Sailor Venus as her Sailor V persona? 12288; NicoNico Douga.

Meet Jade! ~ Gaiwa

http://www.gaiwa.co/p/meet-jade.html

Travel Tips and Tricks. I’m Jade. I’m 22, Australian, and this is my tenth year studying Japanese. My interest in the language started off primarily as a mixture of anime and manga, and the belief that learning new languages was fun. While I still believe the latter, anime and manga aren’t my main focus for Japanese study anymore. My year studying in Japan was spent at Chubu University located in Kasugai-shi which is a thirty minute train ride from Nagoya. Mascots from the Kasugai-shi city festival parade.
