JLPT Study or Lesson Plan

CREATION OF STUDY and LESSON PLAN

I have searched the net for any available lesson plan for anyone who is aiming to pass JLPT Level 2 through self-study.

There were a couple of tips I found, and with them as support or guides, I plan to come up with my own – suitable with my situation, preference, and style of learning a plan to commit.

Anyway, here goes:

Study Scope
Since my aim is JLPT Level 2, it’s easy to determine my study scope.
(Ref: http://www.jees.or.jp/jlpt/en/jlpt_guide.html)
-> Kanji/Vocabulary
-> Listening
-> Reading-Grammar
(1,000 Kanji, 6,000 words, xxx grammar patterns)

Study Resources
Please see link page and the ff. books. I searched the net for these books (read reviews, etc.). Some say Unicom books are good since they have english translations (?). Not sure but I bought the Kanzen Master for grammar patterns:

(Will write a more detailed review of each book when the time comes and will most likely post it in Amazon)
