But for vocabulary when it comes to exams N3, N2 and reaching N1 there is count of vocabularies that is essential to be known, right? So, which textbook or collection of Japanese resources is essential to learn vocabulary from contextual basis and satisfies the N1 level amounting for 10,000 counts.
Hi! Thank you for your comment. The JLPT word counts are just an estimate so it's hard to know which resources actually meet the requirements of the exam. I found ๆฐๅฎๅ จใในใฟใผ่ชๅฝ to have a good collection of challenging exercises, but you do not learn words from context there, except maybe in the second part a bit because you have example sentences. Using the ่ชญ่งฃ book, though, you can find lots of N1 words in context, so maybe that is your best bet. Ultimately, my recommendation would be to use those two alongside Anki (i.e. the Tango N1 deck) and do lots of immersion (specially I recommend getting exposed to content whuch has detectives/crimes in the plot because there is formal language and also many words appear in the N1).
I did this with ๅฐ็ๅญ a few years ago! I didn't get through all the chapters since it was time confusing but it was fun to see all the words I didn't know. Reading the same book intensively after I had read it extensively was helpful for my comprehension!
I love that you were able to change that frustration into excitement! Small changes to our routine can really help get our mind out of a rut!
Indeed. It is so important to making this journey enjoyable to us! And for that we mustn't be afraid to make any changes to the way we learn :)
Great post โค๏ธ

Wow! Thank you for those insights. So, shinkansen master's vocabulary and reading conprehension along with tango N1 deck + detective and crime novels!
Can you recommend immersion as in novels or books or online material in these two themes?
Thank you so much โค
I think Psycho Pass is a great anime to practice watching. For novels, ๅ็ฝใ15ๆญณใฎใใญใชในใใๆน่ are pretty good :)
You are welcome! Good luck ๐ช

This is a great idea! I will try doing this for my fav manga series, ใใฉใฌใ, to improve my comprehension of it :)
Thanks for sharing, Victoria!
