vocabulary and structures (1 Viewer)

[pLuvia]

hey guys, for your vocab and sentence structures do you keep a separate book for them, like for me I get a separate book for my vocab for the chapter and spare vocab for the chapter, and the structures in the same book for each chapter..

how do you guys do it to memorise?

There is only one way to learn Japanese properly- pratice, practice, practice

Choose a vocabulary word or two and construct a sentence with a structure or two including the vocab. You could just do 'look cover write check' to learn vocabulary, but you need to do that often so you don't forget it. I think it's better to learn it by practice.. there's the advantage of practising structures, and it helps you remember the vocab when it's in a context in a (nicely structured) sentence.

what's written above is 100% true~ and there's no easier way than that~
having lists of vocabs and structures won't help you remember them....
they may help you short term but it won't ever last long enough for you to use in exams... especially you never really get the chance to use them because of the 'intensity' of exam conditions~ keeping a list may be a good way to look back but not to remember..... just practice practice and practice and use the structures and the vocabs and create sentences and don't stop until it's stuck in your head~
and the more mistakes you make now... the better.... because by getting it wrong.... you'll be corrected the correct way and it'll help you to get it right more than it would have if you never made mistakes~

Write them all down. Choose a few at a time, write five sentances for each of the structures.

Most popular structures among examiners:

HAVE to (nakerebanarimasen)
I think ( to omou)
I want/Intend to: (Ikitai desu, etc)
Because: (Nazenara)
For example: (Tatoeba)
Also: (Soshite)
Afterwars/ After this: (Ato de/ Sorekara)
Because: (kara/ no de)
Isn't: (Kunai)
Wasn't ( Kunakatta)

Learn them, use them, have fun!

Dotashimashite!

You'll find that to omou is a very good one to Use. Tatoeba, I would get to learn REALLYwell, because then you can crap on about heaps of stuff

 

[pLuvia]

[garry]

vocab is easy

[ichig0]

and i just learn them... =]
it worked!

Anime doesn'thelp at all, they speak too quickly for most learners to understand, let alone comprehend. And I must admit,anyone that's doing there HSC is a learner.

~ to omoi masu (to think)
