Expert take: what JLPT N5 — 文字・語彙 really tests
N5 vocabulary covers roughly 800 words and about 100 basic kanji, plus fluent reading of hiragana and katakana. It is the true starting line — greetings, numbers, days, common verbs and adjectives — where the priority is accurate kana reading and a solid core word set.
Preparation tips
- Achieve fast, accurate hiragana and katakana reading first; everything else depends on it.
- Learn numbers, days, months, and counters cold — they recur throughout the exam.
- Study the ~100 N5 kanji with their basic readings and one everyday word each.
