Hello Marta! Thank you so much for your kind review of the MochiKanji app and your sharing tips about the JLPT. It's absolutely helpful for those who take this exam. Mochi wishes your RU-vid channel achieve more success with the values that you have been bringing to the audience 🥰
Having a structured curriculum and interactive exercises in language learning apps like MochiKanji is fantastic. It keeps the learning experience engaging and motivating
Your advice to take some caffeine before the listening part during JLPT is really a necessary tip for me. I sat for the N4 exam last week and I found that my energy level and concentration gradually decreased because of the multiple breaks and I wanted sth to freshen me up. After the exam, I felt dizzy because of the humid weather and I grabbed a cup of coffee and I felt like my nerves were really starting to work only after some caffeine. It is a really helpful tip.
I'm glad you found it useful. 😊 Something that helps me with listening comprehension is frequently hitting pause when watching something in Japanese, and repeating what I hear and trying to distinguish the words and their correct pronunciation. Basically, training my ear to pick up the intonation and the natural pauses between words and sentences. If you haven't tried this technique yet, I recommend it. It can be quite time-consuming, but it really helps me. Good luck with your studies!
Your video and MochiKanji app have helped me so much in my journey to learn Japanese (I'm a user of this app for a month ^^). The spaced-repetition system is cool! Arigatou gozaimasu! ☺
I am very new to Japanese language studies, I started studying about 6wks ago. I have studied approx 100hrs, as well as probably 100hrs+ immersion, via Japanese youtube videos and Japanese shows/movies/anime on Netflix. I can phonetically read Hiragana and Katakana, and my vocabulary is pretty basic, but I think I have about 300+ words, as well as a basic understanding of sentence structure and particles. I take each day as it comes, but I flip flop from feeling good about my progress, to feeling extremely overwhelmed and like I’ll never be “fluent.” Watching videos like this, both excites me, and makes me feel like I could never possibly get to this level. Ugh!
I do think it's worth pointing out she has been studying Japanese for a while and didn't get to this level in only 2 months. The typical beginner will get to about N5 if they study every day for at least 2 hours a day with effective methods for 2 months. It'll take about 2 years for the average person to get to N3 studying 2 hours a day.
I did JLPT N 4 and N5 and I never thought likethat except for being briefly concerned about someone else answers just before end of listening, someone managed to get a yellow card for turnong, examiners kill our break time by be being incompetent, t he underdesk space was cramped, an inviligator stood too close and stressed me not checking me also extraneous noise. Luckily my next N3 will be in an university. N3 has indefinite content. Some listening practice exams have obscure terms and sometimes its like untying a knot.
I have a question is N3 accepted by Senmon Gakko? or they only accept N2 level? also most of jobs offer they have either N1 or N2 and very very few N3 I also heard you can convince them if you prove them that you're japanese level is good through interviews
any tips on deciding JLPT level? when i take the online mock exam, my N4 comes to about 80% and this is without any serious studying since i took it as a benchmark. as for N3, i couldn't get thru the mock exam bc i didn't know enough but then again i didn't take the time to study yet...
Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I thought your question needed a more detailed response, so I included it in my last video. It's in the second chapter of the Q&A. Hope you find my answer somewhat helpful!
so your telling me you didn't do anything but study for the test did you watch or read anything that wasn't directly related to the jlpt? Also you keep calling within a day short term memory but actually our working memory* is only like 30 seconds and in theory can hold up to 10 minutes up to around 7 items this includes things that aren't what your studying, encoding is the process in which it gets sent to long term memory if you review 1 hour later it was stored in long term and yes it can disapear like the graph you showed. But calling a long term memory "short-term" is just incorrect. Also you can get your forgetting curve to be better by training it. Something can be encoded but cannot be retrieved, they are seperate skills, this is what srs does 'retrieval' from long term. Learning to encode better is a different thing, for kanji an easy one is using mneumonics.
"God tier fluency" the JLPT has no spoken component so the fact it purports to be a "communicative" test is nonsense and so the word "fluency" is not relavant as there is no speaking in any of the test. Reading, listening and multiple choice is such a poor way to assess someones language ability.
