Excel in Japanese: Important Test Mistakes to Avoid

Common Japanese test mistakes to avoid include:

1. Confusing similar-sounding words or kanji with multiple readings and meanings.
2. Misusing particles, which are a frequent source of grammatical errors.
3. Forgetting the correct kanji stroke order or mixing up visually similar kanji.
4. Ignoring context when choosing words, leading to awkward or embarrassing mistakes.
5. Overlooking the importance of vocabulary nuances and appropriate usage depending on formality and situation.
6. Errors in interpreting listening sections, such as mishearing words or phrases.
7. Making intralingual and interlingual errors stemming from transfer issues between learners’ first language and Japanese.
8. Neglecting practice with proper sentence structure, verb conjugations, and polite forms.

Avoiding these mistakes requires focused study on kanji recognition, particle usage, vocabulary in context, listening practice, and frequent review of grammar rules. Using authentic materials and taking practice tests can help identify frequent personal errors to correct. ^{4, 11, 14, 19}
