For context, I’m not studying for JLPT. I’ve only been studying at a conversation based language school for 2.5 months for 20 hours per week. Prior to this, I studied on my own at the beginner level and the school placed me right in the middle of the first Minna no Nihongo textbook (Chapter 14).
I only have one more week left until my time is up at the school. They’re giving us the second Minna no Nihongo textbook next week. I’m going to try to continue studying at home with that book since I have a good foundational base on how to study efficiently.
From my understanding, Minna no Nihongo isn’t JLPT structured so around what level is the second book starting at? Is it N4ish? I want to find other textbooks to work with alongside MNN but want to hear some feedback from other students (possibly JLPT test takers) that can tell me what level I’m currently at. The intensive 20 hour per week course was pretty immersive and all the classes were Japanese only, so there’s a possibility I’ve learned more than just textbook info because of the classroom experience with native speaking teachers. My vocabulary is somewhere between 1,500-1,750 words.
Thanks in advance!
