わしが貢献したんじゃ: My contribution


貢献

With only 3 more weeks till the JLPT, here is my 貢献, or contribution to the vocabulary section. Below are some useful words that I came upon in the 語彙 section of my 1級 study book. Most are fairly common words that I've had trouble memorizing, hence this post. Enjoy these and feel free to ask any questions or post example sentences and I will add them to this entry.
