Is everybody having fun after the exam and during the run up to Christmas and the new year? I'm sure we all deserve a break from study.
That said, what are your plans for study until next year's JLPT? Do you intend to take the next level or retake the test if you haven't scored as well as you'd hoped? It's a long wait until next year's test.
Are most people in this community based in Japan? I was wondering how people outside Japan manage to keep themselves mostivated and most importantly not forget the Japanese they already know.
Do you think it would be useful to copy/paste small articles etc to discuss vocab/grammar structures?

i've spent the last 2 weeks reviewing the 2007 1級 test! Based on my analysis, I don't think I passed......if I get enough time this holiday season I'll actually post all of the answers on this community. in the meantime, I'll keep plugging away on Kanji, writing e-mails to my friends, and reading newspaper articles.
I'm just going to wait until February for the results. I don't even remember what answer I picked for a lot of the questions. Even if I passed Level 1 this year (and I think there's a better-than-average chance that I did), I want to take it again next year to get a better score.
I've just finished reading my seventh novel in Japanese (the novelization of the TV drama わたしたちの教科書). Well, actually, two of them were short-story collections. I noticed that most of the grammar points on the Level 1 test showed up in the book, including ones that Japanese people say they don't ever use. I think that I'm ready to move on to Murakami Haruki. I strongly suggest, even for people preparing for Level 2, that you read a novel or two. I wouldn't have passed Level 2 last year without 涙そうそう

I'm trying not to take a break from study because I know if I do I probably won't take it up again. I don't think I passed 2級 this time so I'm going to keep trying to improve my reading and bite the bullet and finally try to get all the way through Heisig's Kanji book.
If you have some interesting articles to cut and paste here I think that would be pretty useful for me anyway.

Why don't you make a Japanese boyfriend/girlfriend to keep you motivation for studying Japanese?
There are many communities that Japanese who want to have foreign friends get together.
This is the largest community in mix.

Otherwise, this is a similar group in myspace.com.

Wesu,
I really don't know how you can torture yourself going through the test so soon. Do you really remember all of your answers? In any case, I hope you passed.
I too like to write Japanese e-mails, though the tend to be more casual than some of the articles that come up in the JLPT. Still, you can learn the odd kanji here or there on the way.
J,
I think February might be a little optimistic, but let's hope the results come early.
If you've read that many novels I'm sure Murakami Haruki's books won't pose too many issues for you. Compared to other books, I find them relatively straightforward. Saying that, I haven't read that many novels in Japanese.
心象,
I have tried on numerous occasions to finish the Heisig book but I find I lose interest too quickly. I've come to the conclusion that I'll have to pick up kanji through reading a lot and writing where possible.
はっち,

I agree with Darren. When I first got to Japan on the JET program, I started reading "The Woods of Norway" in Japanese. Compared to other Japanese writers like Hoshi Shinichi (and to some extent even pop writer Yamada Yuusuke), Murakami writes grammatically/kannji-wise simple sentences. However, if you are looking to go to grad school here for lit, it'd be perfect study since you can work on exegesis of texts in your second language.
I'm planning to take level 3 next year.
The class will start new week, right after new year.
I'm studying the Japanese in Malaysia. I'm attending the evening class twice a week and will sit for the exam every year.
I'm new to the community, hope that everyone can share their learning experience with me.
My Japanese is quite poor, therefore my co-worker in Japan introduced me to Mixi, so that i can expose myself to more Japanese. I think it's cool, especially when i found out this community.
どうぞ宜しくお願いします。

I'm trying to make the jump from 2kyu to 1kyu. I'm using the free jwpce program

to keep a running list of all the kanji I know (about 1700) It's good because I can look at the joyo list and see which ones I have left to study. Also I bought a memoribo electronic flashcard program
