Yeah, it's getting that time to start worrying about the Japanese Language Proficiency Test that's coming in less than... umm... six weeks. A few comments on that, if I may.
I've found
J-gram to be most helpful with grammar. They send one grammar form to your e-mail per day. All of them can be read online of course, but having only one per day to your e-mail is a great way to keep in touch with it constantly. I just wish they'd think a little how to present them, though.
But
Nippon Voiceblog is simply great! You have interesting cultural texts that are not too long, plus you get a very clear mp3 of the text to go along! I've tried to follow the FNN news, but they speak way too fast/formally for me to follow. The blog's perfect!
There is also the
J-mic with level-specific listening tests, plus some Onomatopoeic word training (
if you can say that five times very fast, you don't need any), but I prefer to study via interesting topics, so the blog works for me.
Any test takers? The application period is over for this year, though.
