I've recently started going about vocab in a new way, and though it's defiantly been beneficial, I wonder if perhaps it could be improved. Obviously there's some subjectivity to this type of thing, but I'd be curious to hear from others.
So, generally speaking, I get all my vocab from manga/songs/etc. When I see a word I don't know, or don't know well enough, I go to Jisho, and add it to my Anki. In order to stay focused, I've only been adding words if Jisho lists them under one of the JLPT levels. I have one Anki deck for each level (15 new cards a day), and I've been working through them. I've "completed" N5 (I put completed in quotes because I'm of course retroactively adding new cards every once in a while), and am currently going through my N4 deck. Before doing whatever deck I'm on, I of course do a review of all the lower JLPT decks.
I'm mostly curious about if sticking to only JLPT is a good idea. I think it's been working pretty well, and if I encounter any other words frequently, I feel I can recognize that and just make a mental note. What do you guys think?
