I took the time to grab all the Japanese subs for shirokuma and used cb's Japanese Text Analysis Tool on them and it gave me a list of words based on frequency. To save everyone's time, here is the list. One can easily make an Anki deck and pre-learn the vocab for the series
How to read the report:
Quote:Word Frequency Report
Name: word_freq_report.txt
Format:
Field 1: Number of times word was encountered
Field 2: Word
Field 3: Frequency Group (see explanation below)
Field 4: Frequency Rank (see explanation below)
Field 5: Percentage (Field 1 / Total number of words)
Field 6: Cumulative percentage
Field 7: Part-of-speech
Neat! I'm sure that that will help some people.
BTW, I was looking at where I'm at with my books and made a goal for the rest of the month: finishing 1 chapter a week for the rest of the month. For me that's chapters 11-14 of my book.
It's funny, my progress through the book has actually been pretty good. But the way I've been going through it has made finishing the chapters take a long time.
The book recommends with comes a separate pamphlet. The pamphlet has words for each chapter that they recommend you learn before starting the chapter. So I guess you gain some familiarity with the kanji and some of the readings and vocab before finishing the exercise.
But for me, I was just like, "Oh, this word is easy, I know this kanji, ...". So I wound up basically focusing on the pamphlet, picking up words and kanji here and there, instead of finishing the actual chapters. This method has worked well for me so far, but now I really want to finish the book (25 chapters), so I'm gonna focus on that for a while.
