Features: This manual is compiled according to the requirements of the "JLPT Test Question Standards" (by the Japan Foundation and the Japan Association for International Education, 1994) for levels 3 and 4, as well as past exam questions. It includes over 2,000 entries. Among them, more than 1,000 entries marked with an asterisk are for level 4 vocabulary, and the total number of entries marked with an asterisk and those without one together constitute level 3 vocabulary. This manual is based on the "Bilingual Example-Explained Pronunciation Japanese JLPT 3-4 Level Vocabulary Manual" (East China University of Technology Press, 2003) and is designed for JLPT 3-4 level test-takers who wish to memorize vocabulary in a short period of time (months). Of course, it is also suitable for general beginners and intermediate Japanese learners. To help users correctly grasp the pitch accent of each word, this manual marks the pitch accent for every word. There are various methods for memorizing vocabulary, among which the most effective is repeated recitation. We hope that users will review the vocabulary at least twice before the exam. This will not only help achieve good results in the "Vocabulary and Grammar" section but also significantly improve scores in the "Listening," "Reading and Grammar" sections.
