Vocabulary by Writing

KanaWords Written in KanaCommon words that have a kanji spelling nobody uses: のど is written 喉 in the dictionary and かな everywhere else, and the same goes for ある, ぶどう and ひげ. Knowing which words to leave in kana is what makes writing look natural. Each card shows the kanji that exists, so you can recognise it without being tempted to write it.KatakanaJapanese Loanwords (Katakana)Everyday Japanese words borrowed from other languages and written in katakana — カメラ, アパート, アルバイト. They look familiar and sound different: Japanese re-shapes every borrowing to its own syllables, so recognising them by ear is a separate skill from reading them. Each card gives the reading, both meanings and a link to the full entry.AdverbsJapanese AdverbsThe words that say how much, how often and how exactly — ちょっと, とても, きっと, 少し. Textbooks scatter them across every level instead of teaching them together, yet they are what turns correct sentences into natural ones. Sorted so the ones you are least likely to have met come first.
