Japanese Core 6K Vocab | Natural Audio, Mnemonics, and Type

Updated as of 5/21/2025

Deck Part 6 of 6

— Please download the latest version to have the best possible experience —

Note: This deck is fully complete but I have not made mnemonics or images for it yet.

This deck contains the sixth set of 1,000 highest frequency Japanese words (5001 - 6000) and is the sixth part of a set of 6,000 total core words. I have it formatted as type to answer like WaniKani solely to aid in retention. Please grade the accuracy of your answers with the buttons Easy, Hard, Good, and Easy like normal.

This is my best deck yet. I have highly modified a core 6K deck with native audio to include pictures, mnemonics for difficult words, corrected definitions, and proper Japanese font updates. Note that not ALL words have pictures and mnemonics; only the ones I deemed hard. This is the sixth (6K) most common words out of a set of 6K.

Features:

— Words are ordered from how common their usage is

— Audio from native sources

— Has a function to type to answer. If you do not like this, go to settings for the deck, choose card template, and change “{{type:Meaning}}” to “{{Meaning}}” in the card front. Done!

— 1-2 example sentences per card with native audio

— All conjugation forms listed for each verb

— Pitch accents with graphs

— Corrected Japanese font so that kanji display correctly regardless of the platform being used

Tips:

• This deck was formatted to be zoomed in on iOS at magnification 1.5x. You can set this from within the deck by pressing the cog wheel on the bottom left and changing the number on the top right. I also recommend you zoom in a bit on desktop for comfort.

• You can turn on furigana on the front side by going to card template (or cards) > front side > and change {{hint:Transliteration}} to {{Transliteration}} to show furigana. I recommend leaving this off though.

Warning: an extremely small percentage of the mnemonics may have a vulgar story. Please press edit and delete from the mnemonics field if this bothers you.

Coming soon: More mnemonics and edits for this deck.
