Listening...

And just now I went back to camp JUST TO do a stupid ABSD survey (aka commitment survey), which I have done so many times b4. Owellz, nvm, at least this is the LAST time I'm doing it..

And after MUCH much thinking on HOW to improve my Japanese Listening, I bought the "Tanoshiku Kikou 1 + 2" which comprises of 2 books and 4 CDs. Okay lar, cuz I was surfing the MOELC then realise they use this to teach O-level Japanese Listening component.. And summore got the CDs and answer, so can easily replay n replay n replay a few hundred times until I can UNDERSTAND what the hell they r toking abt. And I think these 2 books shld be MORE THAN enough for me to practise my listening till JLPT3 level, although it's definitely way below sufficient for JLPT2, but hecks, I shld just concentrate on clearing my JLPT3 this yr 1st..

And so juz now I was looking at chapter1 (Numerals) for the listening book. So expected lar, confirm is test on all the ichi, ni, san, yon, go roku, nana..bla blah blah.. And so I played the CD, okay, starting still okay, but when they tok big big numbers like a hundred thousands tt kind then I think I'm listening to Greek liao arz. Wah laoz, this shows how terrible my listening is.. And summore listening constitues 25% leh in JLPT, so CANNOT afford to just waste tt 25%. Maybe JLPT4 can afford to screw up listening, but then from JLPT3 onwards, whereby the grammar n vocab also getting harder, then must try to score in all components arz. I think maybe I shld just keep replaying, n replaying n REPLAY non-stop until I can make sense of the "spoken japanese" in the CD....
