It is possible, it just comes down to how well you study. Whether or not it is reasonable depends how much you plan on studying and how much time you can dedicate to it.

#

also, is it possible as in very tight but maybe or like pretty doable

slate vessel
#

I mean this just comes down to how well you study and how fast you are able to pick up.

#

Ok so then i would need to spend more time on it and improve my study

#

2 years from your current level sounds very possible

#

How casual do you mean, can you actually read nichijou w/o using a dictionary for much?

brazen kettle
#

I only watch

#

free likstening no subs no lookups

#

like I used to watch anime

#

all I did was turn off subs lol

#

You’re going by to want to build up the reading ability as much as possible

#

Considering that’s the main focus of the exam

#

Obviously listening etc still important, but the actually exam itself most points come from reading comprehension.

brazen kettle
#

how would I even start doing that

slate vessel
#

Reading as much as you can

#

Understanding grammar, vocab etc

brazen kettle
#

also since your a systems engineer according to your bio

#

how would you describe the jump from n1 to academic or technical japanense

slate vessel
#

Probably start off with one of their 1k-2k decks

brazen kettle
#

I used to do core 2k

#

havent dnoe it in forever though

Cause realistically you’ll need to be able to read at speed

#

And be able to parse important information fast enough to answer before times up

#

Cause N1 reading section basically tries to overwhelm you with a lot of content

brazen kettle
#

if I read alot is speed going to be that much ofa concern

#

cause wouldnt u get used to it

slate vessel
#

Exactly

#

The more you read the easier reading becomes so the faster you become

brazen kettle
#

how would you make the transition from easier manga to like actual books

slate vessel
#

Not 100% sure on that, I just dived straight into books

#

Was hard at first

#

There’s a good yahoo site which has a load of articles which uses a wide variety of grammar and vocab you’d seem in the N1 exams

#

Books are good as well, but I found that effective for studying towards the JLPT

#

Again, they are higher level but shorter than books

brazen kettle
#

would I want to try to read them now and just look up everything

#

or find smth easier

slate vessel
#

That depends on what works for you

#

Important thing is to find a way you enjoy or you’ll just burn out

#

And find it hard. If looking up all the time as you read isn’t too much of a pain you can just dive right into stuff without worrying about difficulty so much. But if you think you’d give up, try easier material.

#

I like studying so even though I was doing dozens of look ups, it was fun.

If you can't read you're probably overestimating your ability

#

I'd say if you can read an easier light novel within 12 months from now, your n1 goal date is realistic

#

If not probably not

#

There's plenty of methods to get there, how you do it is up to you

#

I think the benchmark will prove you have the ability to create a lexicon of like 3-5k words, and have a solid fundamental grasp of the language

#

Maybe stuff in this ballpark as a first book

brazen kettle
#

Ok i'm sorry for the week or two i haven't read this I got a job

brazen kettle
#

that level i mean

#

right now i'm just reading yotsuba
