Thank you for your interest in the Japanese English Frequency Dictionary - Total Vocabulary - The 10.000 Most Used Japanese Words. Here's a fact for you : In any given language, you only use about 1000 different words a day in day-to-day spoken language. When it comes to reading, the 2000 most used words account for about 85% of all that is written. Keeping this in mind, the value of a frequency dictionary is immense. At least, if you want to speak a language fast. Study the most frequent words, build your vocabulary and progress naturally. Sounds logical, right? But how many words do you need to know for fluency? While it's important to note it's impossible to pin down these numbers and statistics with 100% accuracy, these are a global average of multiple sources. According to research, this is the amount of vocabulary needed for varying levels of fluency. 1. 250 words: the essential core of a language. Without these words, you cannot construct any sentence. 2. 750 words: those that are used every single day by every person who speaks the language. 3. 2500 words: those that should enable you to express everything you could possibly want to say, alltough some creativity might be required. 4. 5000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers without higher education. You will understand 95% of all written texts. 5. 10,000 words: the active vocabulary of native speakers with higher education. 6. 20,000 words: what you need to recognize passively in order to read, understand, and enjoy a work of literature such as a novel by a notable author. Our frequency dictionary of Japanese is the first in the series to include 10.000 entries. It's is also the first to be based entirely on a modern web corpora. For beginners, we added Romaji entries. Romaji is Japanese written with the Western alphabet. Because this is a learners dictionary, we chose to display only the most common definitions of Japanese words. This makes for easier learning. In short: build your vocabulary, learn basic grammar and go out there and speak. Make mistakes, have a laugh and learn from them. We hope you to enjoy this frequency dictionary, and that it helps you in your quest of becoming fluent in Japanese.

Book excerpt: Over 400 pages of Pali vocabulary are explained in this pragmatic frequency based dictionary which reflects the most common 1000 canonical words of the Pali Suttas sorted by their frequency. A study of these words and a student's familiarity with this dictionary will make it much easier to navigate and understand the Pali suttas. As a source for the more serious Pali learner and those who wish to master fundamental building blocks of canonical Pali sentences - this unique assortment of Pali words in conjunction with hundreds of actual example sentences drawn from the suttas help improve reading and especially comprehension skills dramatically. Each entry starts with a short explanation of the grammar and definition behind the word presented. For each vocabulary one or more example sentences are provided which show the word in its original context. In this way the basic idea of the word is given through the dictionary definition and a more intuitive understanding follows through selected sentences showing the actual usage of the word as found in the suttas.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a valuable contribution to SLA research. Apart from the obvious target of the book, SLA researchers and teachers anywhere in the world, it will be of particular interest to the Japanese community and to Westerners interested in Japanese language and culture. It is not easy to write a book appealing to audiences as disparate as this, but Daulton has managed to do this very well. He writes clearly and lucidly and makes good use of his teaching experience in Japan (Hakan Ringbom, Abo Akademi University). Japan offers a prime example of lexical borrowing which relates to language transfer in second and foreign language learning. The insights gained by examining language borrowing in Japan can be applied wherever language contact has occurred and foreign languages are learned.Many of the most important English vocabulary may already exist in native lexicons. This pioneering book examines Japanese lexical borrowing, clarifies the effect of cognates on foreign language acquisition, assesses Japanese cognates that correspond to high-frequency and academic English, and discusses using this resource in teaching. It includes extensive lists of loanword cognates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being a successful speaker of a given language involves control of the meaning and use of vocabulary items, taking in their lexical content (what phenomena they refer to), combinatorial behaviour (what items they occur with) and situational characteristics (e.g. as colloquial or formal terms). This essential reference book provides clear information on these aspects for around three hundred groups of Japanese near-synonyms, supplemented by a wide range of authentic examples. The result is a clear profile of the meaning and use of each item, highlighting similarities and distinctions among neighbouring terms and expanding learners' lexical range. The book is designed primarily for English-speaking learners, and the selection of groups and items and the overall treatment adopted reflects the author's extensive experience in teaching Japanese to English speakers. Japanese forms and examples appear in both romanisation and Japanese orthography, and the bilingual indexes allow readers to locate synonyms quickly and easily.
