Where are all the Japanese words at? Right Here! Japanese Vocabulary Blaster Index

This table will eventually hold the links 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. If you did know perhaps 4000 words (which is the goal behind the Japanese vocabulary blasters)then who is going to say you don't know Japanese?

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 them out, carry the list with you, and get your friends to quiz you on the words you memorize.

2. Set a goal of how many words you want to memorize over some period of time. (Learn 2 blasters every week, or more depending on how fast you can memorize and how fast you want to start speaking in Japanese.)

For example, an intensely motivated Japanese language learner might attempt to memorize 2 blasters every 2 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 50 Japanese Vocabulary Blasters. Soak em in!
