What have I done?
- Converted the Vocabulary List, Expression List and Kanji Lists to online web pages
- Typed in sentences from the Grammar section of past exams and translated them to English
- In the Grammar section, linked to a lesson on the grammar used
- In the Kanji List, made my own list of sample Kanji compounds which only use Level 3 Kanji!
- Transcribed Listening Comprehension conversations from past-exam books
- Typed up Reading Comprehension scripts (Readings) from past-exams
Note that as an aid to students memorising Kanji, all the Level 3 pages on this site only use Kanji that are within the current JLPT Level 3 Kanji List.
There are currently 284 kanji for Level 3. (NB My Level 3 list excludes kanji from level 4). Please note, that just about all JLPT kanji lists I have found on the internet are out of date since the lists were updated several years ago - make sure you are studying a list of 181 Level 3 Kanji (+103 from Level 4) as of 2006.
How did I do it?
I type all the data in by hand from various sources (mostly past exam books).
For those technically minded, I use XML and XSL to create the pages by typing in XML data files
and transforming them using XSL to the XHTML pages you are reading. This keeps the data and appearance separate.
Who did it?
My name is Peter van der Woude and, if your browser has the required fonts,
you should be able to see my name written in Japanese Katakana:
ピーターバンダウッド

Notes
I found many exam sentences from the
Study Page at MLC Meguro Language Center.
Note, that documents available for download at MLC are only available in PDF format and the text
cannot be copied (due to security applied to the files).
