Japanese Vocabulary Blaster Lensograph Index

This table will eventually link to all of the Japanese Vocabulary blasters, 150 in total. Each list contains 15 Japanese words that you can use in daily conversation. Since fluency is in the eye of the locutor, the amount of vocabulary you know, may or may not, equate to fluency in Japanese. Make a goal to memorize 4000 Japanese words. The Japanese vocabulary blasters take you through your first 2,250 words or roughly half the goal to fluency.

I have heard it said, that fluency in a language can be measured in the amount of vocabulary that the locutor wields. Somewhere between 4000 - 4500 words to be considered fluent. Whether that is true or not I am still undecided, however, I do know this, knowledge and skill in using 4000 foreign words, in whatever language it may be can't hurt.

Suggestions on using the Japanese Vocabulary Blasters:

1.Print out the blaster pages
2. Carry the list with you
3. Get your friends to quiz you - test your memory.

Set a goal of how many words you think you can memorize over some span of time. (For example - Learn two blasters every week, more or less depending on how fast you think you can memorize but depending more on how fast you desire to start speaking in Japanese.)

An intensely motivated Japanese language learner might attempt to memorize two blasters every two days. That is 30 words every 2 days. A less stressful rate might be 2 blasters every week. Only you can decide what will be your best rate of memorizing new vocabulary, and at what pace will benefit your Japanese language learning the most. Go at your own pace and find your groove to memorizing. We don't want to sacrifice retention for the sake of quantity of vocabulary terms learned. Below are the links to the first 55 Japanese Vocabulary Blasters. Soak em in!
