๐Ÿ“š About JLPT N5 Reading Practice

The JLPT N5 level focuses on developing fundamental Japanese reading skills that are essential for beginners just starting their language journey. At this level, learners are expected to understand short and simple passages written using a combination of hiragana, katakana, and basic kanji characters. These texts typically include everyday topics such as self-introductions, daily routines, shopping, and simple descriptions of familiar objects or places. The goal is to help learners build a foundation for recognizing common vocabulary and basic sentence patterns, enabling them to comprehend written Japanese in simple, practical contexts.
