Hi guys
I have a question, hope it hasn't cropped up here before.
Based on JLPT Test Content Specification 2006, as presented on the jlptstudy site:
For JLPT 3 kyuu:
There seem to be 284 kanji + 103 4 kyuu kanji to learn
Which seemed fine. 387 chinese characters to learn - ok not bad.
Then I see I vocab list of 1409 words (including loads of new kanji compounds!) and I wondered, do I have to know all these 1409 VOCAB words in kanji form or do I have to simply know them in kana (hiragana/katakana) form? I reckon I can just about memorise the kana but the kanji forms are complex to write and recognise.
Cheers
Andy
