(Jon sent me a list, and Jason posted it at:

This is by far the best JLPT1 list that I've seen - thanks to both of you guys!)

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone have a complete JLPT1 list, including kanji/kana/english?

I have 2 lists in my possession. One is all kanji words; it's about 7000 words long. Another has about 7500 words, including some kana, but there are tons of duplicates. I doubt if either is a complete list.

I think I could get a Japanese only list, and do some sorting to use the info from one of my other files. But It would be nice if there is already such a list.

It's not possible to get a complete list ("complete" in the sense of "every single word that might be on the test") because the question compilers are told that they can use their own discretion for up to 20% of the words.

The Japan Foundation prints a book of the test specifications for people who write the questions. The book lists 8,009 specific words for level 1. The general specification is 10,000 words, and question compilers are told to use their own judgment for the rest.

The same applies to kanji and grammar points.

Book is: 日本国際教育支援協会　日本語能力試験　出頭基準. Publisher: 凡人社 (2006 Edition).

Most of the vocabulary lists I have seen floating around on the Internet seem to have been taken from (earlier editions of) this book.

Meguro Language Center has a ton of free downloads here:

Including JLPT study guides, with the 1Kyuu list here:

It has 7815 words. These are probably the ones you already have; if there is a different set floating around, I would like to know too.

Hi Leo,

I happen to have an excel based list that I can send you. I'll try to do that tonight as I will be on vacation and away from the internet for the next week starting tomorrow. The list that I have has around 7,000 words and you can easily make a supermemo file of it. If you like, I also have a JLPT 2 list. I am currently working on that one myself.

Hope everything is going well.

Jon

Jon,
That's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!

The JLPT1 list is now available. Please see the first post of this thread.

There's this site too, you can download it or view it online. I'm not using it, so I don't know how it compares.

I like how this list has English on it.

The list however has some duplicates and a couple of cells with #NAME? values.

I've deleted the duplicates and added data to the #NAME? cells.

Will upload updated sheet tonight.

Thanks for making it available in the first place

EDIT: sheet now has 7493 entries

Leo and Jon's sheet minus the duplicates:

Thanks synewave!

Thanks synewave for your work! That will come in handy! =P

This is great! Is there a way to get this list into Anki?

Do we know who matched the English definitions to the Japanese?

And where are the English defintions from?

Sorry synewave,

I got it from somewhere a while ago and I honestly don't recall where I got it. I couldn't tell you where it came from. It is not perfect, but it isn't total garbage either. Sorry I couldn't help with that a little better.

Cheers Jon, not to worry.

I agree, from what I can tell, it looks pretty good. I'm going to be using it.

So how do I import it with anki? I looked at that guide and it isn't helping. When I try and load it, it says it needs to be UTF-8 or something, but when I open the excel, I don't see no option to convert it to UTF-8
Can someone just quickly explain what I need to do or upload/send the file?

Hi raseru, save the file as a text file and choose the utf8 encoding.

Quote:After constructing a model in Anki, assemble the data in your spreadsheet such that each column represents each field in your model and each row represents one new fact.
Ensure that there are no empty cells in the first row in your spreadsheet.
Highlight the data in your spreadsheet and copy into a new text file using Notepad.
Save the file using UTF-8 encoding.
In Anki, click Deck and then Import...
Select the correct model and choose the file to import.
Ensure that the field mapping is correct.
Click import.

As it says, you need to highlight the data and copy and paste it into a text editor like Notepad (found in accessories in the start menu). Then when you save the file, you need to select UTF-8 encoding.

I think that if you use Aikiboy's method and save the file as a text file within Excel, then you will get quotation marks around each piece of data.

If you still have troubles, use the anki forum to talk about this.
