Reviewing the Kanji 漢字学習 ・ Studying Kanji｜long island sound 今度は僕の漢字能力検定を対象にしている勉強の仕方について書きたいと思います。全くつまらないことでとても面白く読まれそうもないけど、誰かの役に立てるかもしれないし、僕にとってとても身近なことなのでちゃんとこの日記で筆記したいです。こんな風に勉強して、５００字位しか知らなかった、それに音訓の事等把握していなかった、初心者の頃から、４箇月という僅かな時間で日本語能力試験１級に合格できるようになりました。 This time I've decided to write about the methods I use in studying for the Kanji Kentei. Granted it's not a very interesting topic, but there's a chance it might prove useful to some readers, and anyway considering the amount of time I spend doing it in a day it's quite a familiar subject so I want to make sure to record it here. 実際にどのように勉強するかと説明する為に、今日やっていた途中に時折写真を撮りました。 To describe exactly how I study, today I took a few snapshots in the process. 実と言えば、教材の如何によらず大体の構造は余り変わりません。 Actually no matter what materials you use the layout is pretty much the same. 先ずはその教材の使い方から始めたいと思います。 First of all let's take a look at the materials we'll be using. その為、辞書は必要です。 For that, we need a dictionary.

Not only are those critical in all languages, but the way they work in Japanese is very different from English, so a dictionary alone won't cut it.

They can use any Japanese book, manga, blog, or website and study away to their heart’s content. For beginners, though, finding Japanese things to read that are at or around your level is a pain.
