very informative ! wishing you good luck. I'm also planning to take N3 this upcoming December . my friend got the full mark in N3 (180\180 )last December and he recommended the same collection as yours he just told me that shin kanzen kanki book is a bit more difficult for N3 level.
I used many of the books you recommended for N3, but I never took the test because it was canceled here. My favorite was the Shin Kanzen Master Grammar book.
A question about your kanji study. If you're mostly focused on generally recognizing the kanji, how do you get passed very similar looking kanji? For example, 璧 and 壁? Do you do any kanji radicals study?
I still haven't finished it 😅 since the exam keeps getting cancelled I haven't really stuck to my schedule, but I still dip into it when the mood takes me :)
I have both sets, 総まとめN3 and 新完全マスターN3. 総まとめ is easier (has little explanation, more like summary).新完全マスターis more involved and much more detailed and kind of boring. The 新完全マスター materials is dense. However, 新完全マスター will solidy what you learned in 総まとめ. I am pretty much done with both sets, took me about 11 months to go through both sets (I use them concurrently). I am going over 総まとめ again to review everything to make sure that I get all the nuances in the grammatical points.
It really varies day to day, right now it's not much because I'm swamped with uni work 😅 I do practice writing kanji but mainly focus on learning it when I learn vocab
@@strawblondiestudies right now I’m currently studying “an integrated approach to intermediate Japanese” and was wondering how many days in a row will you read the same dialogue? Will just just read it once until your comfortable with it and move on? Or do you read the same dialogues every day until you move onto the next chapter? How many weeks would you spend on one chapter?
