Below I have summarised some of the most useful Japanese words. They are organised into categories and include audio of a native Japanese speaker to help you with the pronunciation.

If you want to learn up to 1000 Japanese words quickly I recommend checking out the 'Mega Vocab' learning game in the Rocket Japanese language course its a very impressive programme and I haven't seen any other product with this additional learning vocabulary feature. Rocket is the course that Ninja Japanese recommend to our customers as it is the best we have found from our research.
