Today I want to introduce you one of the best book/resource I have ever used in my life, which is the 日本語単語スピードマスター (Nihongo Tango Speed Master), I bought it on Amazon Japan for 17,64€ (shipping included) and arrived in 3 days in perfect conditions!
The book is really nice, it has the perfect format for being read everywhere, in fact I mainly use it while going to work! My version, which is the basic one with 1800 words, has 50 chapters and each has a different topic. Every word has one or two examples and the red card that you put over the page helps you with memorizing readings and sentences.
lots of useful words and effective examples that show you the context in which the word is used
effective study method for me
you can bring it everywhere
translations in english, korean and chinese
too many words in one single page, it may confuse you
the purchase can be expensive in some countries
combine this book with a notebook in which you write your own examples
revise things every day, it doesn’t take too much time
try to associate the words you read with things you see around you (ex. family and house vocab when you’re at home while having lunch or just relaxing watching tv)
MARK:
9/10, I just love this book, it is helping so much with my weakness!
