They are professionally translated and super high quality. They actually have a really cool product too - it's digital flashcards that you can download and put on your cell phone to practice the vocabulary for the JLPT.

You don't by any chance work for PlaySay, right?

Playsay eg price list:

They are still error-ridden and the "professionally translated" blurb is a lie. It is simply a lightly proof-read copy of every other list out there. The definitions are straight out of EDICT. It may be the best bilingual JLPT list out there, but it's still not what I'd define as good.

I used it when I was studying for JLPT2 and then 1, but only because I was too lazy to make cards manually copy&pasting from a real dictionary.

Was the JLPT 2 list $49.99 when you purchased it? That price tag seems excessive to me, especially considering that it's less than 4000 cards. Making a word list of 4000 cards can be done in a single day...

How do you do that? I'm just wondering, because you have about 21.6 seconds per card if you work for 24 hours straight.

If you mean to write a program for converting a given list into your format (anki format or whatever), then the size of the list shouldn't really matter. Though, converting a list into another format is not really "making a word list", so that's probably not what you meant.

Rikaichan + ctrl s, then import to anki.

When I got them, the lists were free if you signed up for some free trial. They may still be free. The high priced ones are for audio lists.

*thread necro-magic*
Erm, I recognised there is a JLPT2 tag in the anki deck file "Japanese corePLUS" made by rachels. I was just wondering if there is a way to synchronise this deck, or rather the cards already included, with another JLPT2 list available on the internet in order to check "what's left"? Just btw, but is there a stupid KO2001 deck with Expression->Meaning available?
