1000 Common Japanese Words for Anki or Mnemosyne
The most popular post on JapaneseWords.net has been 1000+ Japanese Words List. As the title suggests, the post contains a list of over 1000 common Japanese Words and Kanji. I am proud to announce that the list has just gotten much better.
Thanks to the hard work of Michele Romanini and his wife Bika Fujioka, the list is now available for download for Anki and Mnemosyne. In addition to making the list usable in Anki and Mnemosyne, he has also divided the original into multiple lists (english to hiragana, hiragana to English, English to Kanji, etc). The ability to use Anki will allow you to study over 1000 common words and kanji in a very efficient manner.
I have included two files below. One is in “mem” format (Mnemosyne format) and the other in txt format. Either one can be imported into Anki.

Japanese Study Tip
When dealing with a list of this size it can be a little bit overwhelming. Setting up a study schedule and a goal will prove to be very helpful. For instance, you might try to learn 5 or 10 new words a day. Or choose the date of completion and then figure out the number of words you will need to remember each day!
Special Thanks
Thanks once again to Mr. Romanini and Mrs. Fujioka for their hard work! Putting this list into a format usable by Anki and Mnemosyne greatly improves it’s value

I have recently come to know about the Mnemosyne software and have just started using it. Can anyone tell me, how I can write Kanji on Mnemosyne to make Flashcard
Diles,
Thank you for visiting Japanese words. I recommend you use Anki over Mnemosyne. It has a nicer interface and some additional features. You can find a video on installation and use here: Use Anki to Study Japanese. I hope that helps.
