Nihongo So-matome N3 Listening covers N3 listening comprehension over six weeks at two pages a day. The exercises use short dialogues and everyday situations, with key expressions and vocabulary introduced before each listening task. Each week ends with a review exercise in JLPT format, and there's a mock test at the end. Audio is downloadable from ASK's website. Answers and scripts are in a separate 24-page booklet included with the book.
This is the revised and expanded edition (October 2024), with colour, mock test, weekly review exercises, and expanded translations. Translations are in English, Chinese, and Korean.
Not the strongest or weakest in the N3 So-matome set, just a decent addition if you're using the series. The lessons are short and approachable, and the situational vocabulary before each exercise is useful. For something more thorough, Shin Kanzen Master N3 Listening has more exercises and takes a more strategic approach to the JLPT listening section.
