Study Tactics

Study N1 grammar patterns by focusing on their register (formal/written vs. spoken), connection rules (接続), and typical contexts (often literary or formal speeches). For scrambled sentences, practice identifying noun-modifying clauses and fixed grammatical collocations. Read short editorials daily to internalize cohesion markers and conjunctions for Text Grammar.
