:::Japanese Language Proficiency Test
The JLPT format for December 2009 will still remain the same as the previous ones, but there will be an overall restructuring of the format from 2010 on.
You can download the detailed info on the new JLPT format in PDF from the following site:

:::Free materials online
Most of my materials are keyed to the "Genki I" textbook, but you might find some things useful even if you don't use that book.
Podcasts for more in-depth explanations of the grammar notes in "Genki I":
http://tonysensei.com/groups/genkier-users/pages/listing-genkier-resources
On that page are also some vocabulary and kanji review decks for use with the flash card program Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/).
Not all of the book is covered yet, but my goal is to have at least the grammar notes, vocabulary, and kanji for all of Volume I covered by the end of the US school year.
