Ways to study for Year 12 Japanese????

(1/4) > >>

zibb3r:
Hi guys,

Next year I'll be in Year 12 for for Japanese.  I would just like to know what I should do over the holidays that will be beneficial to my studies for next year.  I am quite good in Japanese and according to the class ranking I'm first.  However, I really need to practice and work hard over quite a few things.  I was thinking maybe watching Japanese subbed anime but then realised that the anime speech is more of a casual type of talking whereas I need more formal.  I know the kanji required but do you guys have any other ideas that would benefit me???

Thanks ;)

hello there! I am presumably ranked 1st in my class as well since I got the award at my school :P
anyway boasting aside, if you're crazy like me, I'd go on to learning even more kanji or start doing some of the exercises from the red kookoo seikatsu book (I assume everyone uses that book) or read about the Detailed Studies?

I find that there are a lack of resources for VCE Japanese so it can be hard doing extra imo

Greatness:
Well i would say just memorise all the kanji maybe a few extra ones, all appropriate grammar points, particle use and most importantly have a good vocabulary!!
My teacher says taht vocabulary is very important, as it is a waste of time looking in dictionaries for a word that you dont know.
As Furbob said there arent too many Japanese resources...

But there's heapppppppppps of non VCE resources D:

I personally find the best resources are Jap books, i.e raw manga and light novels. It's absolutely brutal Kanji/Vocab wise, but eventually it gets easier. You can find stuff on the internet or buy them online or buy them at http://www.burningbooks.com.au/store/?language=jp, http://www.kangakanga.com.au/, or http://www.foreignlanguagebookshop.com.au/ which are all Melbourne based.

E.g Bakemonogatari - http://www.mediafire.com/?5zmu2tzn5md

Textbook wise, I like Kanzen Master (完全マスター）for pure grammar, lots of grammar.
http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Language-Proficiency-Grammar-masutaa/dp/4883190889/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1292394625&sr=1-3

This is after you at least know at least all the VCE stuff though.

But in reality most people stick to VCE resources only and it's perfectly possible to get to the top on just VCE stuff - I'm just suggesting alternatives for when you get bored of VCE textbook drills.

Yeah I would say Vocabularly (and associated Kanji) > Everything else. It's verrrry damaging if you have to use a dictionary, particularly during listening, and obviously during the Oral you can't use a dictionary.

The red book is the kookoo seikatsu  book 2 by keiko aitchison. Is this the same as the Wakatta??
