日本語の Learning Tips<一>

Today I wanted to share how I have been learning Japanese. Everyone must have his/her own studying tips that work well for him/her. Similarly, the following tips introduced below works pretty well on me. As you know, a good learning tip/habit is essential to learning languages well.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
一 Review materials learned during the morning. As studies show, it is likely to be more efficient to learn languages in the morning.
二 Be sensitive to the pronunciations, and don't apply English pronunciation to Japanese ones when seeing the same Romanji. Because in most cases, the pronunciations are not the same!
三 Find a Japanese friend to talk with. Pay attention when your Japanese friend pronounce a word. (Here is a saying that getting a Japanese boy/girlfriend is better than taking Japanese 101...Satoo-sensee, Please don't be MAD! :-) )
四 Collect all the grammar/spelling/writing mistakes and review them before a test. It can prevent you making the same mistakes!
五 Watch as many Japanese dramas as you can! If you are not a drama fan, then listening to Japanese songs might also be a good choice.*

Best luck with your Japanese studying! <3
