It has been a while snice I have written a post. My wife and I have been hard at work making Japanese flashcards for the JLPT. These are no ordinary flashcards. These are picture Hiragana and Kanji flashcards. We carefully picked 442 words for levels 3 and 4 and created  2 sets of fun flashcards that will have you learning lots of new words.

Flashcards are a great learning tool. You can use them anytime, they vocabulary focused and help with retention. I made my own flashcards to learn Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji and JLPT vocabulary  years ago when I was really into my Japanese study. I would carry them on the train and really test the old memory banks with each card. I would look at each card for up to a minute to remember the prnounciation or meaning.

The JLPT Flashcards  come in two sets. One set is in Hiragana to teach you the readings of each word. The pictures on the card tell you the meaning of the word. Far more effective than an English translation.

After you have learned the readings you move on to the Kanji cards. They are the same set of picture flashcards, but
now the Hiragana is replaced with Kanji. With this set of flashcards you focus on learning the kanji and cementing the
meaning of the word.

Also, Kaoru and I go through each card with video tutorials. These also come in mp3 format.  I have make a few finishing touches to the new website.

Here is a video I posted this morning explaining it all.
