Here is a website that has a lot of basic vocab: http://japanese.about.com/library/blvocaburary.htm

http://smart.fm/ is a great place to learn the most common vocabulary along with example sentences. It is kind of like a flashcard game. You can learn all the Hiragana and Katakana on this site plus the Kanji of each word. 3nodding

And here is a thread right here on gaia that has a buttload of vocabulary and stuff on it:

Just remember to go to page 3!!!

I hope that helps you a little. Good luck! wink
