Very useful vocabulary that wasnt covered in my intermediate JP classes or through self-study. Sample sentences are different than what you'd find in a standard textbook:"Dinner will be served on board the plane.""That animation is also broadcast in other countries.""Display Twitter keywords by ranking.""The stock market tumbled.""Please input your PIN number."There's also an appendix of the next most common 200 words but these entries dont have kanji. The index in the back is organized by romaji only so if you see an unfamiliar word and don't know the pronunciation it's hard to look up. This is a good niche book ... something to thumb through while on the train or while waiting at the dentist office. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good intermediate study book *by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012* In the introduction, the author, Mark Smith, mentions that when he described the idea for this book to people, they either loved it or hated it. I must admit I was on the cynical side of that fence. A list of the most commonly used words on the internet? People have already made these lists before. Why do I want them in a book?So, Mark will be relieved to hear that I was pleasantly surprised, and I really like this book. The 500 words are all useful and crop up in real daily Japanese. Each entry shows the word in romaji and kanji, with a definition in English. Then an example usage, given in Japanese script, with romaji for pronunciation, and the English translation. The order they are in is novel, showing the internet roots of the research, but that is fine. The book is peppered with cute illustrations.For me it was the examples that really brought this book alive, as they make this quite a versatile book. For the student just starting to learn kanji, the head word of each entry is ideal study. It is a great first 500 words to learn. But then you can come through the book again and learn the example sentences, which are all realistic. In fact even a student studying for JLPT N1 or N2 will get a lot from that study. On the other side, the Japanese people I've shown this book to have also found the example sentences useful.I can recommend this book to all Japanese learners, especially if your study goal is to able to read Japanese web pages, or to write Japanese emails to friends.Disclaimer: I received a free review copy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another user finding the book extremely useful *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2012* Love the book! It does make learning the most common words easy and fun. While I am not at the level to speak Japanese smoothly at a conversation level just yet, I like that I can learn the words and test myself as I go about my day.My son and I are learning Japanese using the author's other book along with some CDs. We are only doing this for fun, but I have found using all three together is very useful. I can use the other book, "Learning Japanese" to improve my conversation, use this book to quickly identify common words, and the cds help us feel confident we are saying the words correctly.Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/18709876-the-top-500-japanese-words-ranked-by-how-often-they](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/18709876-the-top-500-japanese-words-ranked-by-how-often-they) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
