Tobira Gateway To Advanced Japanese Pdf Download

[Ashley]

Iam working on the second Genki book. Once I finish it I will continue with the Tobira book. But which book should I use after that? I was thinking about getting Aozora : Intermediate-advanced Japanese Communication but there maybe be better books than that.

What seems to help me most to get better at japaese is: to listen to real japanese conversation in games, visual novels or TV. Writing down useful phrases, checking what they mean and then memorizing them

I would recommend getting a native tutor (or a really good friend/exchange partner). Write things and have them correct you. Talk and have them correct you. Read and listen to native materials for input, and output as much as possible.

You are right the further I proceed in my studies the more I will use immersion. Of course I only use authentic content for immersion. Content created by japanese people for japanese people. I mainly use textbooks to learn expressions, proverbs and how to express ideas.

That was actually what I wanted to do. Spending one hour on an advanced textbook every day and use the remaining time on immersion. Does somebody here have a good recommendation for a monolingual dictionary?

@Jonapedia I always wanted to ask you. How do you manage to write the kanji/hanzi fast enough to make notes in school? Even the ones I can write well can take me up to twenty seconds to write. But in school you probably need to write them much faster. Or is it something you can get much better at, just by daily practise?

In Japanese language, Ryakuji (Japanese: 略字 "abbreviated characters", or 筆写略字 hissha ryakuji, meaning "handwritten abbreviated characters") are colloquial simplifications of kanji. Ryakuji are not covered in the Kanji Kentei, nor are they officially recognized (most ryakuji are not present in Unicode). However, some abbreviated forms of hyōgaiji (表外字, characters not included in the tōyō or jōyō kanji lists) included in the JIS standards which conform to the shinjitai simplifications are included...

Haha I never wanted to imply that I am that good in japanese. I only skimmed through the Shin Kanzen Master n1 reading book. I always saw the n1 jlpt as something mystical, something only a chosen few can accomplish. That is why I was kind of shocked realizing that in two or so years I could acquire it, if I put lots of work into it.

@Jonapedia Thank you that was very informative. So some kanji have alternative forms? When reading japanese manga I sometimes saw words I know written with different kanji often some fancier looking ones. I always wondered the reason for it. Now I finally know that they are alternate versions of kanji.
