掲示板 Forums - what words should i learn?

A while ago I started the words for Japanese basics schedule but stopped cause i was just learning random words. is there a word schedule for commonly used words? or basic words like hello, goodbye, etc. and phrases like how are you?, my name is...
if there isn't a schedule what words do you suggest to learn first?

i'm not 100% certain, because i didn't start learning on renshuu. but my understanding is that the words for japanese basics schedule ought to be studied alongside the japanese basics grammar schedule. that way the vocab has context, and the grammar is more understandable. and learning stuff in context is definitely much better than just learning random words.

on the other hand, none of the vocab you're learning at that level is random. everything you learn at the beginning is very common. later on i do think that just learning random words from a list loses its value, and it's much better to e.g. learn vocab through books you're reading. but at the japanese basics level, that's not the case yet.

Go to community lists in ressources and search for "The basic 300" (it's a sentence set of lists), it's not exhaustive but it's still quite good.

There is list for greetings there.

But other than, I strongly recommend doing what 柳 ぱぶ郎 said. The main strength of renshuu, compared to other apps, is the ability to quickly and easily create schedule or list everytime you want too. Without too much effort, it's literaly one click:

You just to click the cross icon. It works for words, kanji, grammar or sentences, you can search in japanese or in english, etc. While searching for a word, you can add it to a word schedule and also quickly add a few sentences to a sentence schedule. Just click on sentence next to the light bulb icon and same thing click, on the cross icon.

It takes some extra effort at the beginning but once you take the habit, honnestly, you won't even think about it. Premade list or schedule are never really sastifying because they also target specific people or have specific objective in mind. Like Mrs_Diss, the basic word schedule is to be used with the grammar lesson. That doesn't mean they are necessarily the most common or the most useful for everyone. Same for the JLPT schedules. The JLPT, and the list based on the JLPT, also target people that want to study or work in Japan. So, there is quite a lot of words related to school or business, among others things, and it can feel quite random for people that are not in those situation.

Like for me, there are still words in those schedules that I didn't hear or use a single time for the last 3-4 years (and even forgot because I didn't use them :v). And I'm watching japanese contents everyday as well as talking to native onlines every week since 3-4 years.

Every list or schedule may feel a bit random or not useful because of that :D
If you don't like the basic word schedule, I recommend the kaishi 1.5K, one of my favorite list created by a member of renshuu, which feel less "random" for me (but that subjective =p).
Other than that, try to get used to renshuu and start creating some custom schedule/list. It's the most satisfying way to learn imo, especially in the long term :3
