About these cards

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

Checked against:

  • Word selection follows the JLPT N3 vocabulary list compiled by Jonathan Waller (tanos.co.uk, CC BY); there is no official JLPT list since 2010. The OpenSubtitles 2016 Japanese word list (hermitdave/FrequencyWords), which orders the earlier parts, does not rank these words under the N3 list's spellings (except よろしく), so they follow in kana order. Meanings, kanji spellings and verb groups checked against JMdict (EDRDG, CC BY-SA 4.0). Reference only; all example sentences are original.
  • Pitch-accent positions checked against the Kanjium accent data (CC BY-SA 4.0); reference only.

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.
