    They put the readings in romaji? Surely if you’re wanting to learn kanji, you’re somewhat serious about learning Japanese; you should be decent at reading kana by then, no?

    “What were they thinking?!”

    And missingno 15, is that a screen shot? Most of my screenshots, if not language tutorial screen shots from YouTube, are screenshots of X Japan concerts, haha (which… don’t really help me with the reading much, or have much written Japanese, if any, as they are already in Japanese) instead of idols :), but whatever inspires you to learn Japanese will definitely help you to keep learning i think! Photos with words or sentences are great to use! :)

    Oh wow didnt see this for a few months. I just wanted to see pictures of your room/house/whatever full of post its.

    And by screenshot, I don’t know what you mean but I guess you mean my sig? It was taken by camera.

    So far as I know, there aren’t any officially-released lists of JLPT kanji, just (very) educated guesses. You can’t go too far wrong with a hundred or so kanji under your belt, though.

    I use an iPhone/iPad flash card app called Sticky Study – it’s got collections of kanji and vocab from N5 to N1, plus the Joyo kanji and kanji from school grades 1 to 9. And yeah, I know that list of collections involves the same kanji sorted three different ways. =P

    I am definitely going to try out this cut n’ paste technique and report back about its effectiveness!

    Hey Andrew, I’d still call myself a super-beginner, so no i’m not planning to take any JLPT test this year. I know only a few kanji (at this point maybe 20 by kanji-name so i have a ways to go, lol). That sticky-note method really works for that too though, since a lot of words such as light, lamp, curtain, floor, etc. all have a kanji, so for those, I wrote the kanji on the sticky note with the kana writing below it. :) Also, I just (fiiiiinally! Sorry Koichi San!) started the beta version of WaniKani to see how I do with it, so maybe by next year I’ll give the test a go. :)

    Joel, yeah I don’t know if there is an official JLPT page, but JLPT study guides/materials will have pretty much exactly what you need to know I’d guess. Some are free online -I printed the JLPT 5 kanji from http://www.nihongoichiban.com is pretty informative, but I was getting confused between some of the Kun & Om readings.- and you can get study guides on Amazon.com I think if you want the booklets. :) Also there is jlpt.jp which will have a layout of what’s in the test I think. Google search “jlpt5″ for more of the sites/guides that are free.

    And missingno15, I just saw your reply months later too, lol. Your sig pic looks like an idol, but who is it?? :) And I’ll post some pics of my sticky notes & J study area soon! ;) I use the half-sized flourecent colored ones for Japanese language notes. :)
