quick question: should i learn kanji by jlpt levels or just learn the most commonly used ones and learn more through immersion?

this is what i’m currently doing with vocab and i dont know if ill ever take the jlpt test in the future.

  1. Don’t learn Kanji by JLPT levels.

    Aside from learning Kanji in isolation from the eords they’re used in just being not very advisable, the JLPT levels *don’t actually exist*.

    “But I’ve seen the lists!”

    The JLPT stopped publishing the contents of the levels 12 years ago, ans the test has been reworked a couple times since. The lists you find online are based off “best guesses” and the old lists. There is absolutely nothing stopping a Kanji you see tagged as N1 appearing on N2 or even N3 if the test writers feel it’s appropriate.
