Self-study Japanese through textbooks and guides Textbooks and guides are the backbone of structured language learning. They provide comprehensive coverage of grammar, vocabulary, and kanji, ensuring a solid foundation. The "Genki" series is highly regarded for beginners, offering thorough explanations, engaging exercises, and accompanying audio CDs to practice listening and pronunciation. Another excellent resource is "Japanese for Busy People," perfect for those with limited time, focusing on practical conversation skills and essential vocabulary. Additionally, "Minna no Nihongo" offers an immersive experience by using only Japanese, pushing learners to think in the language from the start.

Self-study Japanese through videos Videos are an invaluable resource for enhancing listening skills and understanding pronunciation nuances. YouTube channels such as "JapanesePod101" and "Learn Japanese from Zero" provide free lessons ranging from beginner to advanced levels, covering grammar, vocabulary, and cultural insights. Additionally, watching anime like "My Neighbor Totoro" or dramas such as "Terrace House" with subtitles helps learners get accustomed to natural speech patterns and everyday expressions. For music lovers, listening to Japanese songs like those by J-pop artists such as Hikaru Utada or Arashi can also improve language skills and pronunciation.

Self-study Japanese online The digital age has revolutionized language learning, and Japanese is no exception. A plethora of online resources are readily available to cater to diverse learning styles. Interactive platforms and engaging apps offer personalized experiences, allowing learners to focus on specific language skills and track their progress efficiently. From mastering grammar to honing pronunciation and expanding vocabulary, these digital tools provide flexibility and convenience for self-paced study.

Self-study Japanese through exam preparation For those aiming to certify their proficiency, preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is crucial. Resources like the "Nihongo So-matome" and "Shin Kanzen Master" series offer focused practice across all JLPT levels, including grammar, reading, and listening exercises. Additionally, websites like "JLPT Sensei" provide practice tests and tips to help learners gauge their readiness and identify areas for improvement. Self-studying Japanese can be a fulfilling journey with the right resources. By utilizing textbooks, video lessons, online tools, and exam prep materials, you can develop a well-rounded understanding of the language. Remember, consistency and practice are key to mastering Japanese, so make use of these resources to enhance your learning experience.

Today I found and bought two new Sofia The First magazines in a magazine stand, in a town next to mine. (That's what the post is about) 🪻✨️💗

I live in a small town, I came to the neighboring city (a slightly bigger one; where there is a cinema, adequate medical care and clinics, things that are scarce in my town and everyone comes here when they need one of these things) to do an eyesight exam, because recebtly I've been feeling my vision getting worse. Going to the clinic, I found a magazine stand on the other street, and I asked my family (who were with me) if they could accompany me there later. I did the exam, and I'm still under the influence of the eye drops, so it's been torture to write this text, but I need to tell you what I found. You won't believe it: TWO DIFFERENT EDITIONS OF SOFIA THE FIRST MAGAZINES! THOSE THAT ARE NO LONGER PRODUCED! IN FACT, SEVERAL COPIES OF THEM! There were like, 7 magazines from the same edition, perfectly new, never touched, ON THE FLOOR. (And no, I'm not from Rio De Janeiro, there are a lot of sidewalks with this pattern here in Brazil)

A while ago, I think it was in January, I was wondering if I should also go to this city and look for Sofia The First merch, because in my small town I've already looked at all the stores and there's nothing left to see here (how many, about 4 ? 5? Yes, it really is a small city, I know all these places and you can visit them all in 1 or 2 hours at most, walking down the street, without a car). I found some stickers and birthday invitations, I posted them a while ago, I used them for journaling in my sketchbook.

(@shychick-52 do you see the Donald Duck magazines there?? When I saw them I immediately thought about you, they're on the bottom left of the pic and there's more in the top right. Pato Donald is Donald Duck, Tio Patinhas is Scrooge McDuck's name in Brazil. I don't know a thing about Ducktales, I'm sorry!)

I literally gasped. I was just going there for fun, as I like books, magazines and vintage products like records and CDs, so I really like physical media. Those places full of trinkets are extremely fun for me, and whenever I have the opportunity I like to look at everything, down to the smallest details. I love music and vinyl stores, stationery stores, party stores, haberdashery, so a magazine stand sounds amazing to me too! I hadn't been to one in years! (I never went thrifting in my life. It would be an amazing day to spend an evening)

There weren't only Sofia The First ones, you see, these kinds of magazines aren't produced anymore since kids don't have any interest in them. So most of the children's magazines there were dated around 2012-2016! You don't even have to look for the dates to know that, the Strawberry Shortcake ones, Frozen (FROZEN, DUDE! FROZEN!!!) (In one of my STF magazines there's even an ad of these Frozen magazines, they were produced during the same time), there were Disney Junior ones (If you look closely you can see the Lion Guard cover on that pic where I show you the pile of STF magazines, it's on top of them), Disney Princess, EVEN MONSTER HIGH. I didn't took a pic of this one, but as far as I know, you don't find these anywhere anymore. I felt like going back to 2015, when I was a kid those activity magazines and visiting the magazine stands were extremely fun, the themes on the children's magazines were exactly these, I remember the sticker albums, so many good memories. It makes sense, since they're the same ones, but they were never sold.

Besides the children magazines, they sell mangas, magazines, books, word search and activity books, cooking books, comic books/magazines (superhero themed or not- DC comics, Marvel, but also Disney and national works, for example our beloved Turma Da Mônica), and even toys and stuff.

So I figured maybe I'd find silly things here too, it's a bigger town but after all it's still small, it's just 40 mins away from mine, maybe I could find little birthday hats that I can cut out? Gift bags? Maybe stickers and coloring kits, silly things. Of course, knowing about the magazine stands there, something that my hometown NO LONGER has, inside of me had a small amount of hope that I could find something, but not much, as I live in the rural/interior part of Brazil and many products are bootleg, you know those princess books with wonky faces written "princess coloring book"? Stuff like that. But there was still a shred of hope, despite knowing that there probably wouldn't be anything interesting. I just went there because I have fun searching for little things.

AND WHEN I GOT THERE.... THE MAGAZINES WERE JUST THERE. AT THE ENTRANCE. ON THE ?!?!?!?!? FLOOR?!??!??! (You can see the pic up there) ON THE DIRTY SIDEWALK FULL OF DIRT AND DUST AND ALL KINDS OF NASTY THINGS?!??! HELL NAH

It was like they were just waiting for me to get them, they were the first things that I saw. I KNEW THAT I WOULD FIND SOMETHING. In fact, as I always hope to find cool things in these stores I frequent, I always expect something. I'm usually disappointed, but I always try to find it. AND THIS TIME I FOUND IT. NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT LIKE A DOZEN of STF magazines from the same edition, still packaged AND WITH THE GIFT. ALL OF THEM.

As my parents had work to do in our town and needed to return, I had to look at everything quickly. Luckily the magazine stand was small, so I was able to look at a few things, and while the attendant (who seemed bored (thankfully, the fact that she was very slow gave me time to look a little more)) served other customers (she was slow with them too, which gave me more time thank god), I continued looking at all sides of the stand, observing every small detail to look for treasures. If there were several copies of an issue of Sofia The First magazine still packed there, then there must have been more, hidden behind that enormous amount of information. I didn't had enough time because my parents needed to go back home, but I wish I could have saw the content from the Disney Junior magazines. I opened it and looked through the pages, only the last two pages were about Sofia The First, but I still had a lot to look so I put it back and went to search for more.

That's the one I got, the edition I mentioned

12 brazillian reais are worth around 2,50 dollars. For us, in talks about value, it would be like- 5 dollars? Not too cheap like literal 2 dollars, it's like, a cheap price, but not that much. For us, I mean. I don't know if you get what I mean, my explanation was terrible

Before, as we were late for the exam and the whole family was going (we all went to take the exam) I only took with me my cellphone and headphones, I didn't bring my money or even a purse or a backpack. My father bought me the magazine, I got so happy. Actually, he just let me have it and gave me the money, so I went to the attendant. The magazines had an elastic band around to secure them, as you can see in the pic, and I took them to the girl and asked for her help to get one out. As I'm used to being very friendly, and I was very happy, I approached the girl, asked for her help, and as she got them out of the elastic band, I kept talking "I can't believe I found this!! They are no longer produced, they are rare items, and I'm collecting them! I didn't think I would find anything like this here, it definitely made my day." I noticed that the attendant wasn't very friendly back, in fact she was very quiet and seemed a little bored, but I didn't care, I was too happy to worry about judgement looks from people I don't know, at least I was friendly and I did my part. My young brother later told me that when I turned my back she looked confused and shrugged, perhaps thinking "to each their own, right?". She went to serve the other customers and in the meantime I continued to look through the magazines, hoping to find more.

Important detail: I still had eye drops, my pupils were extremely dilated and I could see nearby objects blurred, so searching thoroughly was very difficult. Imagine looking at all that information without being able to see things closer than 1m from you. I'm still convinced I didn't manage to look at everything. I found more Disney Princess magazines (dated in 2014? 2015? somewhere around that) and that's when I saw it. I literally had to crouch down to look at the magazines in the lower sections of the shelf, they were stacked and they covered each other, and when I saw the Sofia The First logo I quickly grabbed it. IT WAS ANOTHER EDITION - A FLOATING PALACE THEMED ONE. Unfortunately this time it was out of the packaging, and I have no idea if someday there was even a gift with it, but I don't care, it was amazing to find this.

That's the Disney Princess magazines I was talking about! In that first pic I took, at the start of the post, you can see a Belle themed one. The Ariel themed magazine looks so old that the paint is stained and started to fade (it was in the front showcase while the other ones were carefully placed inside the stand), thankfully the STF ones were brand new. Well, almost.

Now that I'm home and I'm already seeing a little better, I'm gonna show you the magazines. Not all of them unfortunately, because a post only supports 10 pics and each magazine has 15/20+ pages so like... yeah. I wanna scan them and put them in a Google drive folder, or at least post a video about them in my YouTube channel, but that's more unlikely. If I had all of them, definitely, but I don't think it's worth recording a video if it's not with all the issues, don't you think? Anyway.

What's written in the first one: The Queen's Birthday Party! (This one came with the necklace)

In the second one: Sofia's vacation!

Let's take a closer look at the necklace

I'm fighting the urge to use it. I really want to use that tag in my sketchbook and the charm of the necklace in something like a keychain, but I cann'ttt bring myself to destroy something that is not produced anymoreeee😭😭😭

In the Floating Palace magazine, there is not even a single page where the sea monster is in. Not even a single one.

But in the "Queen's Birthday Party" one, there are three pages where Cedric is in! Yayy!!! They did him justice!!!

If anyone's curious about Miranda's birthday party, it's a comic and someone already posted it on Tumblr. Here is the link.

You know, that "Queen's Birthday Party" it's very exclusive, I don't remember the show having any episode like this, and the next activities in the magazine talk about the vacation they did in the comic and also the birthday party. Besides that, we have a lot of activities related to Tilly and family, and the main arts and crafts activity from this magazine is making a family tree. I believe that this magazine's topic is family.

I can't show you all the pages, but at least I can publish the pages Cedric is in and add more stuff to my Cedric merch masterlist (and personal research)

Well at least he's there. I have seen this art around like 20 times but they remembered that Cedric is a Sofia The First character so that's good I guess

They did him dirty here

AND THIS!!!! THIS ABSOLUTELY THIS!!! MY FAVORITE ONE!!!1!1!!!1!1!!1

YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW LOUD I GASPED, WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I ALMOST STARTED JUMPING AND SCREAMING "YIPEE YIPEEE"

I'll translate it to you this time, so you can understand how I'm feeling right now

What if Chihiro Fushimi Joined SEES (Part 2)

Had to rewatch the P3 ending to amp myself up to do this. Don’t mind the tears…or the river of em flowing through the post. That’s normal. Anyway. This part will be covering some misc stuff like School life, minor changes, and right up to the June full moon operation. With that being said. Lets get into it.

TW//Bullying

“SOTERIA!!!”

Soteria is Chihiro Fushimis persona. The goddess of safety and salvation, deliverance, and preservation from harm…funny that she will exactly USE harm to protect others from it.

While Soteria does learn spells like Tetrakarn and Makarakarn and some defensive increasing skills. That’s not all her Persona can do.

This persona is well known for its high magic stat, but more importantly…she’s the teams nuke button.

Her most upgraded move besides the Agi skill line is the Megi skill line. For those who don’t remember. Megi moves are pure almighty damage, a damage type that can’t be blocked.

Why did I decide to give the terrified nervous wreck a nuke? Cause I thought it would be funny. Don’t worry, it drains her magic fast so you can’t go spamming it. You’re gonna have to actually use her fire skills until much later on when she gets an sp cost reduction skill.

Soteria is best described appearance wise as a graceful looking woman with angelic wings yet in her hands are a giant shield and a crackling hand mixed with agi and megi effects. She’d have some unique patterns on her arms and would have her eyes covered by a flower crown.

Now enough about Chihiros Persona, lets see how this girl is with the rest of the teammates and what she does outside of battle.

Of course she’s still the student council treasurer so she’s in there with Mitsuru from time to time but really, it’s more of a “friendly business partners” relationship rather than a true genuine sisterly friendship for right now.

Now on the other end of things are her dorm-mates. Yukari is often really close with Chihiro. She talks to her quite often about her mangas and how club meetings go while Yukari just listens or at least tries to act engaged at the very least.

Yukari can be a bit protective of her but not often. Just helping at times when she gets too nervous around Akihiko. Other times though, despite Chihiros protests, she throws the girl to the wolves with one particular man to help her overcome her fears. That one man is…

Junpei….is…an interesting case with Chihiro. They both like manga and nerdy things at times so besides the male fear thing, you’d think they’d be the best of friends. Well, kinda. She’s too nervous right now to fully hang out with him and watches from a corner usually. Often wondering how he has so much time to slack on his studies when she’s seen his exam scores. She’d reprimand him if she had the courage to…

Yukari is definitely gonna help this girl slightly tolerate this man if it kills her.

Or at least have her join the “Stupei, Ace Defective” roasting club.

Both options work too.

Chihiro doesn’t have much to talk about with Akihiko. If Junpei was a bit much for her at this level, then a guy who talks about getting stronger and fighting with, to her, not much in common is gonna put her off a bit more…but then again, she seems fine with Hidetoshi so who knows? Maybe they’ll be better friends in the near future.

Insert Makoto Yukis/Door Doors social link here.

What? You thought I was gonna write something for Makoto now? It’s basically going the same as her SL. They’re friends and she likes being around him.

…

…

…

Okay fine, maybe I’m planning something but you’ll have to wait until later in the story. For now. They’re friends. Like…rank 4 at best.

In the overworld, Chihiro can often be seen staring at Bookworms, thinking of going in. Heck maybe even considering asking for a part time job, this girl surrounded by books would think it’s a dream job.

She can also be spotted around the mall, checking out the CD shops or wondering if maybe someday Makoto will take her into Club Escapade…but she’s gotta get her own courage in check so we’ll check in on this subplot later.

At night, there is a rare chance that you won’t be able to use the computer there because Chihiro’s on it.

She’s either gonna be studying or looking at this weird new webcomic. It’s apparently about a boy and his three friends playing a video game? You aren’t sure yet because all you see is a boy kissing his poster goodbye while his friend plays the violin. It’s weird but hey, nobody said she can’t have weird interests.

Now that the current dorm life is out of the way, lets get into the story this time.

A reason Yukari may be a bit protectivr if Chihiro is because she’s been hearing about this currently being bullied by three girls.

It’s really starting to piss her off actually. But she bites her tongue for right now.

Most of May and such plays out as normal but instead of the ghost hunting team being just you, Yukari and Junpei, this girl gets in on it too…she wishes she wasn’t because she didn’t know wether to be afraid of ghosts or Junpei in the dark, or confused by how laughable his missing girl story was.

Nevertheless she joins their investigation with some reluctance…mainly Yukari saying it’ll help her.

For once though when they decide to go to the sketchy alleys of Port Island Station at night, she’s siding with Junpei in possibly wanting to back out.

Dear lord the girl was not only not made for scared, but for seeing Junpei get headbutted by a terrifying guy while being harassed by others.

And then there’s Shinji…

Poor girl just about fainted when she saw him. He’s downright terrifying. He seems nice but the poor gi-oh…she passed out. Poor thing.

When she gets back to the dorm she’s out for the whole night, cuddling with a pillow from fear…yeah Yukari may need to apologize later to her for doing that.

Weirdly enough though, the fact she felt like she “survived” something like that feels a bit relieving in her. Like she CAN do scary stuff and will be braver…eventually. For now though. Fuukas case takes high priority.

Hearing this Fuuka girl was getting bullied by Natsuki was bad enough, learning she could be dead is slightly pissing her off…then she learns Mr. Ekoda hid this information from everyone…someone hold this girl back she’s gonna take her paper fan and jam it down his throat.

Thankfully she heard Mitsuru got to him but she’s still pissed. Who knew this sweetheart could have a tipping point that deep.

It doesn’t make her fear into a hatred thankfully, I mean…seeing Junpei get knocked down at the station made her feel scared sure but like she wanted to help and just felt powerless…maybe that’s why when he heard this girl was being bullied and her missing status was hidden was what caused her to lose her cool for a little.

Come the time to save them, she begs Makoto to please go with him to save Fuuka. She feels like she needs to meet this girl.

He doesn’t care

But she’s in the party with Aki and Junpei.

In retrospect, not a good idea for her but she’s holding back her fear to save this woman.

Authors realization: OH SHIT, I FORGOT HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT NATSUKI!!!!

So with Natsuki she feels, understandably, upset that she would bully this girl and locked her up. Though she does promise she’ll help find Fuuka.

Now back in Tartar Sauce, she’s slightly relieved yet worried to be split from the all guys party. When she finds Makoto though, she’s much calmer. When they find Fuuka though…dear lord this girl is so glad she’s alive.

Then she sees Mitsuru and Yukari are down for the count and hey, she can actually do damage to them…it’s weak damage though. If only there were some persona user who could read enemies weaknesses an- oh Fuuka did it.

The rest of the story here mainly plays out as normal.

Now with Fuuka on the team, how are she and Chihiro gonna get along?

Dear lordy, these two are like sisters. Scared, timid, shy, other similar words can best describe them to a T.

Fuuka looks up to Chihiro as her Senpai while Chihiro looks up to her as someone much smarter than her.

These two have a lot of study sessions together and it’s sort of the opposite of Yukari so far.

Instead of having Chihiro try and work past things asap, she’s more into having her take her time and do things at her own speed.

They even suggest starting a manga/book club too.

Fuuka isn’t fully into Mangas? Well by golly Fuuka will try for her new friends sake

And this is where we end for this part. Sorry it’s a bit sloppy and has so much run offs, it’s unorganized and all over the place. Okay a lot more work is needed but there was a lot to go over and I set my ambitions a bit high. I’ll try and organize things a bit better next time and make things more coherent.

Special thanks to my co-author @maze-of-my-design for the relationships list for this gal and helping with ideas for this series.

Hope you enjoyed reading it y’all.

Time for a Jon Brandis Review!

Get your pencils ready, 'cause just like your teacher does before a big exam, we're gonna have a little review – a Jon Brandis review, to be exact. It seems like we've been writing about the seaQuest babe for so long, that your mind must be flooded with information! You may have even forgotten his middle name! So, for the sake of refreshing your memory, we're gonna give you a little summary of all Jon facts! And, to make it a little more exciting, five of the facts we wrote are completely false! We made 'em up! So, just to see how good you really are with your Brandis info, see if you can pick out the true lies!

Tutti Frutti, 1994

Jon's full name is Jonathan Gregory Brandis. His middle name was given because of his dad, Greg.

His birthday is April 13, 1976.

Jonathan loves to collect Mad magazines and wildly patterned boxer shorts.

At press time, he was dating Lindsay Alley of The Mickey Mouse Club.

The seaQuest set where Jon plays Lucas Wolenczak has moved from California to Florida.

This family man has 27 first cousins!

His mom's name is Sue.

Jon's CD player would most likely be holding discs by Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, and Snoop Doggy Dogg

His idol is seaQuest DSV creator, Steven Spielberg.

He had his first crush in kindergarten with a girl named Rachel.

One of the things he hates to do most is talk on the phone.

He names as one of his best experiences acting with, and learning from Ladybugs co-star Rodney Dangerfield.

Jonathan loves hanging out in coffeehouses, one of his favorite places to relax.

His eyes aren't naturally blue, they're only contacts.

Jon's first job was for a Fisher Price carousel when he was only three!

The Brandis pets include a dog named Megan, a blue parakeet named Ernie, and a cat named Marbles.

Jon once guest-starred on a Thanksgiving episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years.

He loves playing with his younger sister, Marie.

When he's in a junk food mood, Jon loves to munch on Reese's Pieces candies.

The karate flick Jon starred in with Chuck Norris is called Black Belt.

One of his best gal friends in the biz is Jenna von Oy.

When he gets a chance to tune in, Melrose Place is one of Jon's favorite TV shows.

After feeling very out of place due to the move down to Florida, Jon now says that he's getting used to it and enjoying his new atmosphere more.

Aside from seaQuest, Jon loves doing the cartoon voice for Mozenrath, the evil teenage wizard on Disney's Aladdin cartoon series.

The best way to meet Jon if you see him in person is to just go right up and say "Hi!"

Okay, Brandis fans, which of the five facts don't have the least bit of truth to them? If you guessed 7, 11, 14, 18, & 20 – you’re absolutely right!

Hindsight

You are five years old

“Do you want a brother, or a sister?” you’re asked, as you rest against her, the unshakable iron of her presence only stronger as they kick out from within,   A brother. I’ve already got a sister, you say, mindful of your partner in play, the other half of your life. New is good, new is exciting, and you don’t see the warning signs you will later learn of, because how could the world ever change from the steady pattern of five whole years?

You are eight years old

One house later, still fresh and exciting, that first night in a curtainless room, (too new to fit) has given way to the shared master suite. And a memory you can never be sure is real, of a parting, the morning before a late night phone call in a strange house you visited once, but now call home. “I had a feeling it would be today” he says, not further than he’s ever been, but it feels it, nonetheless.

You are nine years old

The apple trees in this perfect playground garden swell with fruit, safe from the chaos of construction, and the great green box with so much furniture. You climb trees, scale ropes, and stare out over a sea of grass, and you’re not alone, so you don’t dwell on friends left behind, and the classroom where you never say a word. The raised voices don’t register as odd, because they never have been, though it’s interesting, to drive for almost an hour just to make a phone call. “It won’t show up on the phone bill,” she says, and you nod, trusting. Her iron core has no room for doubt.

You are ten years old

The pile of belongings in the middle of the lawn is just a story. But the missing CDs give it truth because not all was saved. Not all came too. In this new house,   you watch from unlit windows for the blue car at night, determined to catch the Bad Guy until you’re caught instead, and the room is banned after dark. A playroom for daylight hours only, and sleep saved for the room which overlooks nothing at all. It will be six months, all told, before you pack up your life once again, more completely this time, severing those first threads of new friendships which had taken so long to form.

You are eleven years old

And you don’t understand all the jokes but you know enough about loneliness to pretend otherwise, and to seize this newfound friendship with all the haste you wish you had known to need before. It won’t matter, ultimately, because there is no losing a friendship like this, but the yawning gulf of those lost years will tear at you too many times, mocking and undermining, before you dare believe it could be real.

You are fourteen years old

And you make a tally, day by day, counting down until that sixteenth birthday when you are allowed to leave. You won’t, but by then you’ll have forgotten this desperation, lost in the background radiation of hormones and exams, and the weight of responsibility for the siblings you would have to leave behind.

You are eighteen years old

This time, you choose stability. You choose the calm and quiet, the house unchanging, where a near-decade of summers have passed in peace. You don’t go alone, packing all your worldly belongings in boxes, with the promise that whatever is left behind lies forfeit. She loves you both, wants you to stay so badly, loves with a weight that has smothered you past the bounds of adulthood, and into your independence. You owe her everything, and she will never understand what that has cost you.

You are twenty years old

Two lines stare up at you, past the nausea and the shock, and the threads of this fragile new existence as a partner. They mark the end of so many dreams, so many plans, even as they herald the beginning of your first unconditional love. You will cradle these lines into flesh, and carry them home with words of wisdom and judgement alike, and you will vow to do better. This promise, like others before it, carries far more weight than you know.

You are twenty three

Two feels right, two is important, as the remembered years of company in the darkest times remains. You have always known this, And your love is no less as this second child stares back at you, clinging so tightly, screaming protests at a world filled with discomforts. As though, even then, the future was already written. This time, when you cry at night, you understand where the blame lies, but the fear and that promise are still so strong. Two more years until that dam bursts, sweeping you into yourself at last.

Now, with the weight of experience, I sit here and look back, warning signs laid out like landing lights, and marvel at the kindness of my ignorance twin-edged and biting. Two doors ever closed in my home, their owners beset by traumas I could not prevent. And that core of iron I at once admired and feared to repeat, has never looked so beset by rust.

How to Crack CDS in First Attempt – A Complete Guide by IFA Defence Academy

Cracking the Combined Defence Services (CDS) exam in the very first attempt is a dream for many young aspirants who want to serve the nation with pride and honor. The exam, conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) twice a year, is highly competitive and demands a well-planned strategy, consistent effort, and the right guidance.

In this comprehensive blog post, we at IFA Defence Academy — a leading name for CDS coaching in Chandigarh — will walk you through a detailed roadmap to clear the CDS exam in your first attempt. Whether you're still in college or have just graduated, these tips will set you on the right track.

Understanding the CDS Exam Structure

Before diving into preparation strategies, it is crucial to understand the exam pattern:

For IMA, INA, and AFA:

English – 100 Marks

General Knowledge – 100 Marks

Elementary Mathematics – 100 Marks

For OTA (Officers’ Training Academy):

English – 100 Marks

General Knowledge – 100 Marks

All papers are objective type with a negative marking of 1/3rd for every wrong answer. Understanding this structure helps tailor your preparation accordingly.

Step 1: Make a Realistic Study Plan

Planning is the first step to success in any competitive exam.

Divide your syllabus: Break the topics into daily or weekly goals.

Set achievable targets: Don't overburden yourself. Instead, focus on consistency.

Mix subjects daily: Instead of studying one subject per day, study 2–3 subjects to avoid monotony.

At IFA Defence Academy, our faculty helps students create personalized study plans which is one of the reasons we're trusted for CDS coaching in Chandigarh.

Step 2: Strengthen the Basics

A common mistake many aspirants make is jumping directly to mock tests and shortcuts. Start by building strong conceptual clarity, especially in:

English Grammar & Vocabulary

Current Affairs & Static GK

Fundamentals of Arithmetic, Algebra, Trigonometry, and Geometry

Books like NCERTs (Classes 6 to 10 for Maths) and Lucent for GK are great to begin with. For English, Wren & Martin and newspaper editorials can be excellent resources.

Step 3: Practice Previous Year Papers

One of the most effective strategies is to analyze and solve previous year papers:

Understand question patterns and difficulty levels.

Identify frequently asked topics.

Practice time management during exam conditions.

IFA Defence Academy provides a repository of solved previous year papers as part of its comprehensive study package — an added advantage of enrolling in the best CDS coaching in Chandigarh.

Step 4: Take Regular Mock Tests

No preparation is complete without evaluating your progress. Enroll in a well-structured test series that mimics the actual exam.

Attempt at least one full-length test weekly.

Analyze your performance after every test.

Work on weak areas before the next test.

Mock tests improve speed, accuracy, and time management — key elements in clearing the CDS exam on your first try.

Step 5: Focus on Physical Fitness for SSB

Cracking the written exam is only half the battle. The SSB Interview is equally crucial and includes psychological tests, group discussions, physical tasks, and personal interviews.

IFA Defence Academy emphasizes complete training, including SSB interview preparation, group tasks, and personality development, making it a preferred choice for CDS coaching in Chandigarh.

Tips for physical readiness:

Jogging or running daily

Building upper body strength

Practicing group activities and leadership exercises

Step 6: Stay Updated with Current Affairs

The General Knowledge section can be a game-changer. To score well:

Read newspapers like The Hindu or Indian Express daily.

Watch news analysis on channels like Rajya Sabha TV.

Prepare monthly current affairs notes (or follow a reliable monthly magazine).

IFA Defence Academy provides daily and weekly GK capsules tailored specifically for CDS aspirants.

Step 7: Maintain a Positive Mindset

Staying confident and mentally strong is as important as academic preparation.

Avoid burnout — take regular breaks.

Stay motivated by reading biographies of defence personnel.

Surround yourself with like-minded aspirants.

At IFA Defence Academy, we believe that mentorship, peer interaction, and a disciplined environment are key to transforming potential into performance.

7 Mistakes To Avoid in Written Exams Preparation - NDA/CDS/AFCAT Tips

If you're preparing for NDA, CDS, or AFCAT, smart preparation matters more than just long study hours. Many aspirants fall behind due to common yet avoidable mistakes. Here are 7 preparation mistakes to avoid for better results in your defence written exams:

Not Following the Syllabus:

Every exam - be it NDA, CDS, or AFCAT - has a fixed syllabus. Don't waste time on irrelevant topics.

Skipping Proper Time Management:

Without a balanced timetable, your preparation stays incomplete. Make a plan that gives enough time to each subject.

No Practice with Previous Papers:

Solving past years’ papers builds exam familiarity and boosts confidence. It also helps in understanding question patterns.

Focusing Only on Strong Areas:

Ignoring weak sections like General Awareness or Maths can cost your merit. Balance your preparation.

Depending Too Much on Coaching:

Coaching can guide, but self-study is what sharpens your concepts. Create your own revision notes and practice regularly.

Overlooking Current Affairs

For CDS and AFCAT, awareness of current events is crucial. Read newspapers and follow defence-related updates daily.

Skipping Mock Tests

Mocks improve time management and highlight your mistakes. Attempt weekly mocks and track your progress.

Conclusion

Avoid these mistakes and approach your exam preparation with discipline and strategy. With consistent effort, clearing NDA, CDS, or AFCAT becomes not just possible, but achievable. For more information, visit the Invicta Defence Academy Website.
