Community vocab decks to try after finishing JLPT decks?

Currently going through the JLPT N5 to N1 decks and was wondering if there were any community vocab decks that I could use after finishing N1. I’ve read about Bunpro’s WIP A-list vocab decks in the forums, but to my knowledge we don’t really have an ETA for that, so I was hoping if anyone here had a decent enough substitute in the meantime. Thanks!

If you finish the JLPT decks my honest advice to you would be to abandon decks, haha.

At that point you will have learned 9,000 words, and hopefully you will be independently consuming content. At that point (actually tbh before that point even) it is much better to stop using Bunpro as a primary language acquisition tool, and start using it as a supplementary tool to support your immersion. You will likely get a lot more out of searching and adding words to your own custom deck or just straight to your queue as you see them come up in media.

However if you really want to stick to decks, I guess doing one of the Core decks might be alright? Although you would have likely finished most stuff in them by then.

This, 1000%! You graduated, so start mining, or shore up some gaps with core decks.

I’m playing through the remake of 空の軌跡 and am getting all kinds of fun words like 瞑想、徘徊、琥珀、翡翠、紺碧, 怨恨 and before I saw these, I only knew 3 of the kanji, let alone word meanings!

Into the review pile they went, and I typed them all here from memory, so it must be working :stuck_out_tongue:
