4.0 out of 5 stars Do you really want to make 1,000 cards by yourself??, May 1, 2003
By "sd1138" (Tsu, Japan) - See all my reviews
I felt that I needed to chime in here and defend these cards. First the bad so that you know I am not trying to sell them or work for the company or anything....

Yes, I will agree with the first reviewer here that the font leaves much to be desired. The kanji on the front is small so sometimes it is hard to make out how many strokes there are etc. Each card is only 4cm by 9 cm so the reduced font is because of this.

...That being said, I didnt buy them to study the kanji. The hiragana is quite legiable and the English font is fine. Also I dont read each one for more than about a 5-10 second period so unless you plan to sit down and read one all night, its not a problem. In addition they make perfect pocket cards since they are not big. I can carry like 20 of them and not even notice it.

Second and most importantly....there's 1,000 of them! It's got words from all over the place in here..Verbs (passive/active) Nouns, Conjectures, etc. The whole point of buying the cards is so that you DONT have to sit down and copy out 1,000 words from "a good textbook". The best part is that each card has one or two example sentences in both romaji and hirigana so it helps to put the word you are looking at into context.

Also dont worry about "getting them out of order". WHO CARES! What order?? Sure there are numbers on the cards..but what does that mean? Are you really that organized that you need your flashcards in alphaebetical order? Every week I just grab 10 from where ever and go at it. I make two piles. The words that I got that I already know and the words that are new for me and giving me trouble. For me it helps that they are random so I dont go crazy from spending 2 months only learning words that begin with A. Also if you try to learn them in order it'll be tough going since because there are 1,000 of them you'll feel that you're never getting past a certain letter.

Lastly, font problem aside...how can you find anything wrong with a flashcard?? Its a word. Thats it. The Japanese word and the English word. How can you screw that up? They have the correct English word that corresponds with the correct Japanese word. THERE! That alone means they get 5 stars. But I gave them 4 becasue I took off one star because of the font problem. Only one since its not a big deal unless you really want to know the kanji for each word. Then dont buy this. Buy some kanji flash cards!! :)

Seriously, if you want to learn vocabulary and you want to use flashcards, then these will do the job just fine! Stop complaining about the card itself and just learn the word! :)

As I often tell my students here in Japan "YOU CAN DO IT!!" :)

Dont press the back button, buy the cards and I'll see you in the Nihongo nouryoku shiken nikyuu test!

4.0 out of 5 stars Chiming in..., June 10, 2005
By Jesse D. Watson (North Dakota) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is absurd. The negative reviewer said "I can't write enough bad things about this product," or something along those lines, but he hardly even WROTE anything bad about them!

Order--why do you want them in order? What purpose could that possibly serve?

Font--they look fine to me. What, exactly, is wrong with the font? Is it too small? If you're going to be reading Japanese competently, you're going to have to read font this small, and smaller, in the real world. Japanese use small font sometimes.

The only gripe I have with these cards is the romanji. I actually would prefer to just read the kana. The romanji is a distraction and hindrance, in my opinion. I know the kana, and if I did not, I would get kana flashcards, learn the kana, and then use these.

I have actually whited out the romanji on my cards. All 1000 of them.

I think they're a steal. 1000 words is a great vocabulary foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like these cards, April 22, 2009
I didn't want to make flash cards by hand because I don't have the energy or patience.

I think these cards do the job for me. Now I can just take some and look at them whenever I want. The font size is probably around 11, which is just fine with me.

I do find the romanji a bit annoying, but I guess I can just ignore it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well, I agree and I disagree . . . .
I just got these little cards, and, since I don't yet know the kanji, I really don't (yet) care what the Kanji look like. Probably I will someday. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Half a star is more like it.
Don't waste your time or money on these cards. It is much better for you to make your own cards by copying information from a good textbook. Read more
