JYOUYOU KANJI SEPARATED BY GRADE FOR FASTER LEARNING

Used Wikipedia and the guy who made the last list said they were all correct, so my list is at least as good as his, but better :D. Also, the Wikipedia page hasn't been changed since the last person made their list, so we're definitely using the same content.

It took me about 3 hours to make the script and parse the list as you see it now. An interesting thing to note is that Grade 4 has 201 kanji and Grade 3 has 199 kanji(wiki error). What this means is that one of the entries in Grade 4 should be Grade 3. I don't want to check because I don't think 1 kanji out of 1,945 being misplaced is a big deal, but if someone tells me which one it is, I'll be happy to update the list.

Description: 

Lets be honest here, no one wants to attack the ENTIRE Jyouyou kanji list at once, that's why you even Japanese students learn only a certain amount per grade. So, to make the Jyouyou Kanji list a little(lot?) easier to tackle, I separated the list by the grades they are taught in Japan.

Sets:
Kyouiku Grade 1 (80 kanji)
Kyouiku Grade 2 (160 kanji)
Kyouiku Grade 3 (199 kanji)*
Kyouiku Grade 4 (201 kanji)*
Kyouiku Grade 5 (185 kanji)
Kyouiku Grade 6 (181 kanji)
Kyouiku** Grade S (939 kanji)

* The reason for these one-offs is mentioned in the first section.
** The rest of the Jyouyou are taught in secondary school and are marked as Kyouiku Grade S in this collection. I thought it would be easier to keep track of the sets this way. Don't worry, these 7 sets together really do equal the full Jyouyou Kanji!

Enjoy, and good luck studying!

JYOU YOU KANJI, YES, THAT'S RIGHT, ALL OF THE JYOU YOU KANJI

wikpedia's jo yo kanji list, as well as jisho.org for double checking and verification, since hurr hurr wikipedia is an unreliable source since a 5 year old can change the kanji's definition for watashi into something like unko right? hurr durr durr.

Description: 

hay redcaep i uploaded the new cardset with the more accurate definition cards, please parse them like you did with the wiki list :>

omg i just realized redcape

ARE YOU PRIVATE?!?!?!

all the newscasters have been asking the question, Just who is, private?! (you know like "who is the batman!?")

thatd be cool if you're private, cause if you're not than you wont understand what i'm saying about all this being one upped and combining powers to create captain planet.
________________________
BECAUSE NOBODY DECIDED TO MAKE A FRIGGING JO YO KANJI CARD SET,

YES, I HAVE TAKEN JUSTICE INTO MY OWN HANDS.

SEIGI NO TAME NI, KONO JYOU YOU KANJI ZENBU KANSEI SHIMASHITA

AT THIS POINT I DONT EVEN CARE IF MY BUNPOU IN THAT BUNSHYOU IS CORRECT.

a total of approximately 10 hours were put into this. from paranoia of the kanji definitions on the wikipedia list being wrong (even though they were all right, i kept checking because i was paranoid), to double checking the list to make sure it's in correct line separated format, to making sure i space the katakana evenly since it kept mushing with the hiragana kun readings which made it messy, to not fully understanding how exactly the space separated answer question format works so i had to go through all 1945x2 lines over and over again, as well as just zoning out a little bit staring at the screen crying in frustration over how there seemed to be still, an infinite amount left... yes. 10 hours have past. i took a 1 hour break to SHOWER and eat. thats it.

the rest went to my DRIVE FOR JUSTICE! THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO JYOU YOU KANJI CARDSET.... WHY?!?! HOW?!?!? UNACCEPTABLE.

the jyou you kanji are the "common use kanji", and in my opinion, the rosetta stone to understanding japanese. kanji is like a gigantic puzzle, and with understanding this list / cardset, you will be able to decipher most. also in my opinion, this should come before attacking that other great resource, the Japanese cardset, with the 1st-4th kyu kanji list, because if you know the jyou you kanji, understanding the kanji in the 1st - 4th kyu will be much, much, much, much easier. i tip my hat to that wo/man Private, because that probably took a very very long time. far longer than this.

unless he just snatched the cards from flashcardexchange using that python script which is pretty awesome.

then he's GOT NOTHING ON ME GOD *@#@IT

because i felt it would be a waste if i just was a jerk and kept these cards to myself, i have posted them on this website that has created this god-like program in the first place. hopefully i have contributed decently, and this is also my way of trying to help this program succeed upon succeeding.

hopefully many japanese learners that use this program will benefit.

i still secretly curse the fact that even though i waited for so long, nobody made a cardset for this (even on flashcard exchange), so i had to do it.

so i consider this probably, my last and only act of slight good will, even though this is mostly for myself, to the internet community of japanese language learners, most which are probably learning for bad reasons, like anime and manga, not unlike myself. heh. i know you guys who say you're learning for "culture and stuff" are lying. lol. it's the anime, and you know it.

SO ENJOY. YOU BETTER, I BLED TEARS OF PURE CONCENTRATED FRUSTRATION AND AGONY CREATING THIS LIKE A CODEMONKEY. ANYWAY ITS NOW 3:30 AM, WOW, I'M GLADE I DONT HAVE TO GO TO DAIGAKU TOMORROW/HAVE SHIGOTO TO GO TO.

(by the way, i think i've double-checked the list to make sure it was accurate about 4-5 times now. so you're free to be paranoid about whether or not they're correct, but this should be a pretty decently accurate cardset)

-junesue

p.s. there are quite i few people, i realized, while trying to find a jyou you kanji list, that believe learning the jyou you kanji is, basically, a bad idea, and a waste of time. they say this because some of the jyou you kanji yes, is not really used much anymore, as they have been replaced by different kanji that is used more often (according to jisho.org).

however if you want to become more fluent in japanese and have some kind of guidance when reading kanji, this is a must. i have a strong feeling that those that bash on the jyou you kanji, are just finding excuses to be lazy.

but hey, it's summer vacation, you've got nothing to do. quit watching anime/playing eroge/reading manga scans online/playing WoW/playing a korean/japanese mmorpg and learn some of this stuff. then you'll be able to watch the raws, play in the japanese betas of new mmorpgs, read some of the raws of manga scans, AND PLAY NITRO+'S VISUAL NOVELS. and not have to wait for those fansubbing groups/people to translate the visual novels.

ahh, suddenly 65.4 has become my favorite number, as it is the number of KB this .txt is on my computer.
