About This Repo

This repo contains a list of the most common Japanese words in order of frequency, as determined by the University of Leeds Corpus.

Usage

This repo is useful as a corpus for typing training programs. According to analysis of the Oxford English Corpus, the 7,000 most common English lemmas account for approximately 90% of usage, so a 15,000 word training corpus is more than sufficient for practical training applications.

To use this list as a training corpus in Amphetype, paste the contents into the "Lesson Generator" tab with the following settings:

Make **3** copies of the list

Divide into sublists of size **3**

Add to sources as **15000-japanese-words**

In the "Sources" tab, you should see 15000-japanese-words available for training. Set WPM at 10 more than your current average, set accuracy to 98%, and you're set to train.

Enjoy!
