Okay I need to make a plan for how many words I’m going to analyze and convert each day.
I’m using the online Naver dictionary to estimate how many words there are for each JLPT level.
JLPT 5 = 801
JLPT 4 = 1191
JLPT 3 = 1907
JLPT 2 = 2648
JLPT 1 = 3246
And a running total would be:
JLPT 5 = 801
JLPT 5+4 = 1992
JLPT 5+4+3 = 3899
JLPT 5, 4, 3, 2 = 6547
JLPT 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 = 9793
These numbers aren’t perfect, since there are a lot of duplicate entries, but it gives a good idea of how many words there are to analyze.
So what I’m thinking is that I need to take 2 days to sort words into three categories:
- Native Japanese Words
- Sino-Japanese Words
- Foreign Words
After that, I can focus on blasting through rewriting the Sino-Japanese words.
I’m hoping to get through 100 words a day.
So it would be a 2+5 schedule: 2 days to sort out and get 500 Sino-Japanese words for analysis.
