Trying out a new weekly thread idea.
This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.
@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
I know what you mean. The last time I was there it was mind blowing to see various kanji I’d learned in a vacuum in use. Helped so much with meaning.
I haven’t taken any practice exams yet, I am just doing what my tutor tells me. I am practicing reading more with examples from Genki which is nice. We still have some grammar to get through I think from Genki 2.
Amazon has practice tests for the various levels that I found really helpful to focus in on the types of questions that will be asked. The one I used came with a CD for the audio portion, so you may need to get a USB-CD drive if you PC doesn't have one. They're shorter versions, so they take about an hour or so to do, but doing the N5 and N4 tests at the start of this year is why I had the confidence to push myself for the N3.
What does your tutoring entail?
Oh nice, I’ll take a look at those.
We’re making our way through Genki but each session is usually 30-40 minutes of conversation with occasional grammar discussion, then 20 minutes working on a textbook section.
