My Vocabulary

This section of the web site is used to define your own vocabulary and vocabulary lists. Any lists defined here will appear under the "My Lists" node in the lists tree.

There are two main sections to this help page.
Vocabulary lists covers how to create and maintain your lists while Vocabulary words covers how to add your vocabulary and assign them to lists.

This section explains how to maintain your set of lists.

Add Vocabulary

This section explains how to add new words to the current working list. You can add up to 10 new words at a time. Any new vocabulary word must have both the 'Word' and 'Kana' fields defined. The 'Kanji' field is optional.

1 Enter the English word in this field.

2 This field contains either the hiragana or katakana for the new vocabulary. The input type will change depending on the selection of the pick list (3).

3 Use this selection list to change the kana type that is entered in the kana field (2).

4 This field is optional. Unfortunately, the only way to get kanji into this field at this time is to copy and paste it from another application. There is no IME, for web pages, to change kana into kanji.

5 Click to add the words. You don't need to define all 10 slots. The program will stop adding words when it finds the first word & kana pair that contain no text.
