    Both あれは僕のじゃありません and あれは僕のカップじゃありません are correct.

    That is not mine.

    That cup is not mine.

    My teacher, who is a Japanese national, says that both are polite, with ではありません being a bit more formal. So you’re about right.

    I’m more into knowing it before you’ve seen it. Less pressure and faster reading when finding new reading material. :-)

    I’ll be recommending the way I do it.

    Find a list of the Kanji needed for each certificate of JPLT.  E.g. http://www.jlptstudy.net/

    Pick a Kanji to learn.

    Make a search for that Kanji on Jisho, by using * on the left and right of the Kanji, while having “Common words only” ticked. This way you’ll be getting all the combinations of that Kanji with other characters, but just common only words (that’s the case usually, explanation following).

    E.g. http://jisho.org/words?jap=%EF%BC%8A%E5%91%B3%EF%BC%8A&eng=&dict=edict&common=on

    Now, go through the words and make a new vocabulary list from those that you can learn now. Meaning
    that no other Kanji in that particular word is unknown. But be careful, because although only the most common words are shown, sometimes that might not be true. Consider looking through the sentences for that word, too, to make sure you’re actually learning something that has an accurate translation and is
    used often.

    The result is an amount of words that could be useful and can give you both a general sense of the Kanji’s meaning, and the readings. Remember, that since common words only appear, you’ll be getting the most commonly encountered readings, too. Like Mark, I wouldn’t recommend focusing on the readings though either.

    Edit: I can’t for the life of me edit this properly.

    日本食 = Japanese food

    http://jisho.org/words?jap=nihonshoku&eng=&dict=edict

    日本の食べ物 is also correct, thing is a word exists that has the same meaning and is shorter. No particle was emitted. It’s a new word. I was corrected once on lang-8 for the exact same thing. Both are correct, one looks prettier!

    日本の食べ物が好きです。

    日本食が好きです。

    I like Japanese food.
    Both are correct, though.

    There is a contradiction. Though, since you can’t really “edit” PDF files, they were probably meant to be printed. Writing makes words stick better anyway!

    I think we’re supposed to print the practice sheets anyway. I, for one, write down the question/prompt and the answer.

    It’s a well polished and very entertaining game. You can find most anime ost, as well as non-anime popular songs.

    You don’t have to write about yourself. You can try making up stuff.

    Try making a list of some words that you don’t know very well, and then come up with a fictional story that uses some of these words.
