2000 Essential Vocabulary for the JLPT N3

Mainly Using for Shadowing

There is audio that you can download from their website. This has been helpful to reinforce words I've seen before and maybe helped me to pick up a few new ones. But my primary purpose for buying was to have another book to use for shadowing. For that, I feel like it's been excellent. A red piece of plastic is included that can be used to obscure each vocabulary word within the example sentence(s). There is also a checkbox that can be marked when you feel that you've memorized the vocabulary.

I noticed a couple of mistakes in translations or typos. And at least one of the audio recordings was longer than the sentence in the book, but these are small errors that don't decrease the overall value found here. Highly recommend!
