How many words are in the decks?
🕑 Added 2024-09-18 19:18:54 +0000 UTCAn interesting question that came up, here is the answer:
Beginner: 1180
Counting: 155
Intermediate 1: 715
Intermediate 2: 592
Loan words: 210
Total: 2852
Some explanations:
The counting deck adds numbers and counters as words.
Loan words are "Japanized" English words that I keep in a separate list. They're not explicitly taught in the decks, but they do appear in the videos and are usually easy to understand.
Intermediate 2 has fewer words because it has slightly fewer cards and more "booster" cards.
Booster cards:
When adding a new word, I add 2-3 sentences using that word, which I call "boosters." These (hopefully) solve a problem I had: when learning a new word, I could only understand it in the context of the sentence I learned it from. It usually took 2-4 more sentences to really grasp it.
In Intermediate 1, I placed boosters manually at first, but later I added better tools to select and space them more meaningfully throughout the deck. This means there are less boosters, thus more words in this deck.

One more thing... The numbers you are mentioning... Are these the number of Flash Cards? Cause if those are the number of Flash Cards, Then I got all of them basically for free from Anki Deck Sharing page from someone else I guess

Thank you! I’ve been curious about this for awhile, so it’s nice to get to know. Do you know about how many kanji are taught in the decks?
