You can learn Japanese from anime: Here’s every word you need for Frieren s1 e1. All 960 of them

  • September 22, 2025

I'm a firm believer in spaced repetition + media consumption for language acquisition, so I went ahead and made a list of every single word used in Frieren Episode 1, and ranked them by frequency with english translations so you can go ahead and plug them into your favorite spaced repetition app.

It's formatted in a completely free, downloadable googlesheet for you.

This is basically the full vocab map for the episode.

So here you are 960 words in all: Frieren S1 E1 Vocab

  3. This is some good shit right here. But also, I don’t really know anyone who would say that you can’t learn from anime? It’s the primary source for a lot of people when receiving input, even with some traditional study.

  6. I would argue this is not learning “from anime.” It is not what the nihongo-curious individual means when they stumble in here asking “Is it possible to learn from anime?”

    They’re wondering if it’s possible to just *watch TV,* with or without their first language’s subtitles, and over time just come to understand the Japanese through, idk, osmosis? Wishing upon a star?

  7. I also believe on the same, we can learn Japanese through anime or drama. This is what we made in the past few months to make learning Japanese fun. You can check it out here.

    Spaces Repetitive learning is also one thing we planned ahead. Hope this also help your learning journey

  8. I’ve been using renshuu’s Text Analyzer’s “Work with this text” (pro feature) for this exact purpose: to make word lists/schedules from manga text. Good shit.

    I also had a programmer friend make me a word scraper tool for a certain website so that I can harvest all the words for this purpose.
