Features: The "Japanese Language Proficiency Test" (JLPT) organized by the Japan International Education Association is an authoritative examination to measure the learning level of Japanese learners. The test consists of three parts: (1) Kanji and Vocabulary, (2) Listening, and (3) Reading and Grammar. Kanji and Vocabulary not only form a part of the test but also serve as the foundation for the other two sections. This book, based on the requirements of the "JLPT Question Paper Standards" compiled by the Japan Foundation and the Japan International Education Association for levels 3 and 4, as well as past examination trends, includes over 2,000 entries. Entries without a triangle symbol are for level 4 vocabulary, while those with a triangle symbol are for level 3 vocabulary. Additionally, we have used the Japanese morphological analysis software Breakfast, developed by Fujitsu Laboratories, to statistically analyze the frequency of these vocabulary entries appearing in the past ten years' test papers. Vocabulary that appears in both level 3 and level 4 tests is marked only with the level 4 frequency count. The greatest feature of this book is the detailed analysis of the "Kanji and Vocabulary" section questions from the past ten years, which is inserted after the corresponding entries. Users can combine real test questions to memorize vocabulary, allowing them to more accurately grasp the test intent and improve the accuracy of their answers.
