Vocabulary sound files

I have recorded a few lists of vocabulary to aid memory. These take the form of a list of Japanese words followed by their English definitions, "inu - dog, hoshi - star", etc.

I am not Japanese so the Japanese pronunciation is probably a little off, though I tried my best. However the English pronunciation is excellent! :p

These files contain all the vocabulary needed for level 4 of the JLPT. (689 words)
