About these cards

Review status: Second-reader reviewed, with corrections applied.

Checked against:

  • Answers are headwords of this folder's N3 vocabulary decks (Parts 1–4). Their word selection follows the JLPT N3 vocabulary list compiled by Jonathan Waller (tanos.co.uk, CC BY); a few are words from the same compiler's N4, N2 or N1 lists, as their vocabulary cards state, and there is no official JLPT list since 2010. All sentences are original.

These are independent study notes written for Willys. They are not official exam material, may contain mistakes, and are no substitute for your course, your teacher or the exam owner's own publications. Found an error? Tell us — corrections ship as a new version of the deck.
