The JLPT Study Page

The JLPT Study Page
JLPT is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. With this site and the JLPT Study Forum I hope to give people some idea of what to expect in the exam. I have typed out past exams, translated sentences and created some basic learning materials, such as quizzes, to help students check if they're on the right track. I set out to take my first JLPT exam in 2004 and while some information was available on the internet, I was never clear. Importantly, I was never quite sure what was in the official list - or even whether an official list existed. I passed level 4 in (2004) and then level 3 (2005), and started to create web pages as part of my study regime.

日本語資源 - Nihongoresources.com Where do the kana come from The simple answer to this question is: "from kanji". While kanji are used as semantic symbols in modern Japanese, this hasn't always been the case, as kanji were quite often used purely for phonetic purpose, using whatever kanji was available to get the sound of the what was written down across without paying attention to the meaning of the actual kanji used. Through this use a "standard" set of kanji became used to mimic Japanese phonetics, and it is from this set that hiragana and katana were derived. Hiragana was derived from the cursive forms of kanji, and was used predominantly by women, while katakana was derived from lifing kanji compounds out of their kanji and using them as phonetic characters instead. This script was deemed unsuited for women and was used by men, as well as in the clergy (which at the time of course constisted only of men anyway)

USB Japanese group JLPT - WagaWiki From WagaWiki What is the JLPT: the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is a yearly (in December) test of Japanese ability for non-native students of Japanese. The test can be taken in major cities in Japan and throughout the world. It focuses on reading ability, vocabulary, listening, kanji, and grammar. Japanese Cheat Sheet After 2 months of planning and composition (okay, so I did procrastinate quite a bit), I now understand how Moses felt when he descended Mount Sinai with the holy tablets. Behold, Nihonshock’s newly revised and much improved Japanese cheat sheet! This is a “cheat sheet” for the Japanese language. It is an attempt to condense and organize as many of the basic elements of the language onto one sheet of paper as possible. How do I use it?
