Features: The "Japanese Language Proficiency Test" (JLPT) organized by the Japan International Education Association is an authoritative examination to assess 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" for Levels 3 and 4, published by the Japan Foundation and the Japan International Education Association, as well as the past test papers, 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 used the Japanese morphological analysis software, Breakfast, developed by Fujitsu Laboratories, to count the frequency of these vocabulary entries in the past ten years' test papers. Vocabulary that appears in both Level 3 and Level 4 tests is marked with only 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 are inserted after the corresponding entries. Users can combine real test questions to memorize vocabulary, allowing them to better grasp the test intent and improve the accuracy of their answers.
