  • hey guys ~
    good luck to anyone taking the JLPT soon! I wish you all the best :)
    I would love you hear your thoughts about the JLPT in the comment section.
    the long overdue JLPT video…
    I took the JLPT N2 in December of 2021 when I was 17 (and my japanese was much better than it is now lol) and here I am finally sharing my experience and my tips for getting through it.
    I managed to get 171/180 which is really impressive to me considering I had the worst test day imaginable. I was also self-studying and used zero paid resources. This was also my first time taking the exam so I was going in with no experience. I hope this video can be helpful to you in your JLPT journey ~

    But I have a question I am currently studying for the n1 which I will take next year , I feel like 言語知識 is not a problem and my reading is ok with more practice I am sure that I can pass easily, but do you have any specific advice for the listening? Especially when you have to take notes like when I took a practice test I literally failed doing these 2 things at the same time😂💔 (listening while taking notes)

    I'm studying JLPT N2 grammar, etc., and I saw that I need to know thousands of words for the JLPT N2, but how I can learn them all? I tried to study lists who were published by other people, to make flashcards, but it takes too much time. In other terms, is there a method to learn them all and review them to not forget them? Thank you😄( really interesting and inspiring video, by the way!) ( and so satisfying to see you writing during all the video too!)

      Learn kanji using vocabulary it makes it easier plus you learn like 2 or 4 kanjis in one phrase.
      also get to know N3 grammar before moving to N2

    As a fellow procrastinator and a champion at trying to learn languages for as free as possible, I relate to you very much right now haha.
    That grading system sounds confusing. It might technically be more accurate, but I like knowing exactly what my score means. Oh, I got a 90 on the TOPIK reading or listening section? That means I got 45/50 questions. The only scoring system I've seen that is more confusing is the new-fangled TOPIK speaking exam, which has literally no explanation of where the score comes from lol.
    I knew that your Japanese was eons better than mine, but wow! N2 is seriously awesome (even if there's no output).

      It hurt to buy my first novels and textbooks. They feel like some treasure that I must cherish 💀. It’s the reason why I’ve been hesitating so long on taking iTalki lessons, I am still not used to spending money on hobbies.
      It must be so hard to grade speaking sections. I always wonder how it’s done for the CEFR exams, it must be difficult to regulate. Especially since the grading has to take place live and you have hundreds of candidates to go through. That being said, I feel like they are always pretty lenient and for a new exam like the TOPIK one, it would probably be pretty easy to pass in the first couple of years.
      And my Japanese is much worse now, don’t worry 😅 The lockdown just brought out the best in me I suppose

      She probably did. But the thing with kanji is there’s patterns. Once you learn the first 50-100 kanji the rest become easier since you essentially just start combining them.

    Can I ask you, how many words you actually need to know to pass n2? How many words you learn per day? 👉👈

    • @polynotte
      @polynotte  Год назад +3

      You need to know around 6000 words for the N2. I don’t know what level you are at now but if you are comfortably at an N3 level you only need around 2000 more words to reach an N2 level. At my peak when I was most serious, I was learning around 20 new words a day and I was reviewing all of my other words on Anki. Now this is quite a lot and I didn’t keep that up for a very long time it was just over several months before the exam.
      This ended up taking over an hour every single day and it was quite exhausting, and it was one of the main reasons why I ended up burning out and not enjoying Japanese anymore so I wouldn’t really recommend going that hard unless you really feel like you need to, or you want to.
      That being said, I did end up getting 60 out of 60 in the vocabulary section so I suppose it worked well for me. Of course you don’t need to get a perfect score in the vocabulary section. You only really need to pass so you don’t really need to do that much and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
