Description

The Nihongo So-Matome series, from leading Japanese-language-teaching publishers Ask, are some of the most popular study guides for students preparing for the JLPT. This N3-level listening textbook is one part of a 5-book set (sold separately) and provides the tools needed to improve your listening skills to get to the next stage of your Japanese ability. The first chapter of this book serves as a stepping stone designed to sharpen your listening comprehension and help you tackle longer passages. It covers words and sounds that are often mispronounced and introduces fundamental items of grammar. The second chapter describes the different question patterns that appear on the new JLPT. Students are encouraged to work their way through the practice questions and master each pattern. The third and fourth chapters cover different situations and contexts designed to help you learn the words and expressions commonly used in everyday life. The review drills section at the end of each chapter lets you gauge how well you understand the material. The comprehensive review in the last chapter simulates the actual JLPT listening section, giving you an idea of whether you are ready to take the real test. English, Chinese, and Korean translations and explanations for words and concepts that are difficult to understand, so you can use the book for self-study. There’s a good reason that the Nihongo So-Matome study guides are so popular, and if you are studying for the N3, we can’t recommend this book enough.
