3. For Intermediate and Advanced Level Japanese Student
(3rd year Japanese and above level at OSU)
(The contents for beginner level will be added in a later version.)
If you are studying Japanese, you would like to increase your vocabulary level in order to increase your reading and listening level. Here I can introduce the method to improve your reading and hearing level without hassles. However, to improve your grammar, writing and general Japanese ability, I strongly suggest that you attend your academic Japanese program. If your school does not provide proper Japanese program for you, I recommend that you take a SPEAC program at OSU.
I took the classes, and think this program was wonderful~!
O.K, let's cut the crap, and go to the main dish. J
First, I want to enlist sites that I believe will be helpful, and then tell you know how to use them to improve your Japanese ability in chapter 4.
Fuji News network (News script available)
I really like this site.
You can also check out
Column section (you can find this under side bar's menu)
This column is like asahi shibun's TENSEIJIGO.
NHK NEWS WATCH (English version Japanese news)
This news is very useful when you don't have background of Japanese news.
If you listen to the news first, then you can more easily follow the news in Japanese.
There are so many news video sites are out there.
If you use
Mayumi's Column:
She speaks really slowly. She reads real stories from real people's mail. You will have a chance to find out how Japanese feel and think.
Internet Rakugo Club:
If you never have a chance to enjoy Rakuko, this time you can enjoy as much as you can.
