Nihongo Sō-Matome - The Tofugu Review Preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT, can feel like a daunting task. Studying Japanese and taking the test cold turkey would be foolhardy. Each of the five levels has its own set of grammar points, vocabulary, and kanji to master. There’s also a section to test listening skills. That’s why I picked up the Nihongo Sō-Matome series of study guides. Organization Organization proves to be Nihongo Sō-Matome’s strong point. Each lesson is meant to take one day and the books make up a six week program. Each day presents a bunch of kanji, grammar points or vocabulary to memorize. For those looking to cover ground fast, the daily lessons provide the perfect framework. For those looking for a more leisurely pace (like me) it’s easy to ignore this suggested time table and work at マイペース or your own speed. Presentation For black and white study guides, Nihongo Sō-Matome gives a friendly vibe. Each day’s lesson features cute little pictures to set the scene. One Complaint Pros

tofugu Kim Ahlstrom is a good friend of Tofugu and the creator of the esteemed online Japanese dictionary Jisho.org. Through maintaining Jisho, Kim has naturally become a Japanese dictionary nerd, and thus one of the best people to talk to about the subject. We wanted to know about the best Japanese dictionaries for study, and Kim Ahlstrom did not disappoint (I did say Kim was a Japanese dictionary maniac, right?). Take it away, Kim! Collecting Japanese dictionaries has become, in my wife's words, an obsession. I like to see how different dictionaries approach different things: design, words included, explanations, and target audience, to name a few. Dictionaries are also an important part of my study routine. You can also use this method, even if you only have a few dictionaries on-hand to compare and contrast your amassed vocabulary list.
