Most post-graduation students wish to keep studying Japanese but may have a difficult time continuing to learn as easily as they did during their time at GenkiJACS. We therefore have compiled a list of tips for students that will hopefully motivate studies!
1.Self-Study<\/b>
\u2460You can learn Kanji and vocabulary very effectively by self-study. Use flashcards and online tools to help you remember them. We recommend the following:
– The JLPT Kanji Project<\/a>
– Flashcard software Anki<\/a>
\u2461Watch movies, dramas, anime, and read manga in Japanese. Listen to Japanese music to retain comprehension skills. Some specialty bookstores both in Japan and overseas offer bilingual manga, with both the Japanese and English on each page. We recommend:
– NHK World Service <\/a>
\u2462Get new information in Japanese! Read books & magazines, and Japanese websites and blogs. We recommend the following:
– Yahoo! Kids News<\/a>: Today\u2019s news written in simple language for Japanese elementary school children. \u201cYomigana tools\u201d add readings for difficult words, adjustable by your ability level
– Rikai.com<\/a>: Adds mouseover readings and English translations to Japanese text on other websites, allowing you to read online Japanese texts easily. Or more easily, at least.
\u2463If you would like to continue to use the GenkiJACS curriculum, you can check out the following textbooks:
Beginner II: Genki II
Pre-Intermediate: Chukyu e Ikou (\u4e2d\u7d1a\u3078\u884c\u3053\u3046), J.Bridge
Intermediate I: Chukyu wo Manabou (\u4e2d\u7d1a\u3092\u5b66\u307c\u3046), J.Bridge
Intermediate II: Nihongo Chukyu J501 (\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u4e2d\u7d1aJ501), Roleplay de Manabu Chukyu kara Joku e no Nihongo (\u30ed\u30fc\u30eb\u30d7\u30ec\u30a4\u3067\u5b66\u3076\u4e2d\u7d1a\u304b\u3089\u4e0a\u7d1a\u3078\u306e\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e)
Advanced: Chukyu kara Jokyu e no Nihongo (\u4e2d\u7d1a\u304b\u3089\u4e0a\u7d1a\u3078\u306e\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e), Nihongo Namachukei (\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u751f\u4e2d\u7d99)
*If you are still in Japan, you can find them in any major Japanese bookstore. Alternatively, you can order them online through bookstores such as Amazon.com. <\/p>\n

2.Online Japanese Language Schools<\/b>
GenkiJACS has a partnership with Japan Online School (J-OS)<\/a>, that offers private Japanese classes through webcam with native Japanese teachers on a flexible schedule. If you apply through here their website<\/a> and indicate you were referred by GenkiJACS, you can receive the following special pricing:
– Free trial lesson (normally 980-1280 yen)
– 1 extra lesson free when you buy lessons (for example, 5 lessons for the price of 4)<\/p>\n

3.University Courses<\/b>
It\u2019s never too early or too late to join a university course! Remember, GenkiJACS can provide any documents required by your school if you would like to get credit for your stay here. Many students in the past have been able to receive credits for their study.<\/p>\n

4.Local Japanese Community<\/b>
Your city may have a Japanese community that offers classes for non-Japanese people, or can put you in touch with speaking partners.<\/p>\n

5.Getting Involved<\/b>
\u2460Keep your Japanese friends! Try not to lose contact with the people you have met and had fun with in Japan. Send your Japanese friends or classmates Japanese e-mails or letters, or practice conversation on Skype.
\u2461Meet new friends! Look online for penpals<\/a>, or join a Japanese social network<\/a> (*Japanese mobile phone number required), or join an interest group <\/a>in your local area. Japanese study website thejapanesepage.com <\/a>offers a large community of people discussing their Japanese study.
\u2462Volunteer! If there are any Japanese exhibitions or events in your area, it may be worthwhile to volunteer for them. That way you can meet new people and also learn more about Japanese culture.<\/p>\n

6.Returning to GenkiJACS<\/b>
Returning students are always welcome back! GenkiJACS provides a 10% returnee discount on tuition, and of course a warm GenkiJACS welcome!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
