*This list is a tentative guide (based on past exams) that is likely to match the exam requirements for the JLPT Level N5.

As of 2010, the JLPT authority no longer publishes an official vocabulary list.

JLPT N5 - Verb List

Image
Verbs necessary to pass JLPT N5 The following is a list of 109 verbs which you need to know in order to make yourself confident to pass the JLPT level N5. Here, the dictionary form (plain form) and Masu form (polite form) of the verbs are listed with English meaning, hope this will work as your reference material. Note: Need to pay proper attention how the forms changed when you need to make it a [ます] form of verb. For example: おきる = to get up and おく = to put, to keep; but when written in hiragana, [ます] form of おきる is おきます and masu form of おく is also おきます. Let's see more verbs how they change from dictionary form to polite form: おきる → おきます; DROP [る] from [おきる] to make it [ます] form; おく → おきます; CHANGE [く] to [き] to make it [ます] form; たべる → たべます; DROP [る] from [たべる] and add ます. いく → いきます; CHANGE [く] to [き] and add ます. あそぶ → あそびます; CHANGE [ぶ] to [び] and add ます. のむ → のみます; CHANGE [む] to [み] ます. くる → きます; CHANGE [く] to [き] and DROP [る] and add ます. する → します; CHANGE [る] to [し]

Hiragana Keyboard The first step of your Japanese learning journey is to learn the Hiragana and Katakana characters. The Japanese writing system has 3 components which are Hiragana - 46 basic characters to write the native words. Katakana - 46 Katakana characters for writing foreign words. Kanji - Kanji are actually Chinese characters used in modern Japanese writing system used as stem of a word convey meaning of the word as well as sound. Please note that all these are characters and not alphabets. In this lesson I will introduce Hiragana and in next two lessons I will introduce Katakana and Kanji. Once you master Hiragana, Katakana will become easier to learn. Hiragana -  Each Hiragana character represents a particular syllable.

JLPT N5 Lesson 19: Counting and Counter Words

Image
Counting in Japanese In the above picture, it is shown how to count from 1 to 20 in Japanese. Now we will see how to count upto 10000 easily by following some pattern. 1st pattern is, ten (10) is じゅう (juu), twenty(20) is にじゅう (ni-juu), thirty(30) is さんじゅう (san-juu) and so on up to ninety (90). And the 2nd pattern is, for example, ten (10) is じゅう (juu), eleven (11) is じゅういち (juu-ichi), twelve (12) is じゅうに (juu-ni). Using the same pattern with Twenty which is にじゅう (ni-juu), we can make twenty one = にじゅういち (ni-juu-ichi), twenty two = にじゅうに (ni-juu-ni), twenty three = にじゅうさん (ni-juu-san) and so on. Now let us count 100 and above. 100 = 百 [ひゃく] 200 = 二百 [にひゃく] 300 = 三百 [さんびゃく] 400 = 四百 [よんひゃく] 500 = 五百 [ごひゃく] 600 = 六百 [ろっぴゃく] 700 = 七百 [ななひゃく] 800 = 八百 [はっぴゃく] 900 = 九百 [きゅうひゃく] 1000 = 千 [せん] 2000 = 二千 [にせん] 3000 = 三千 [さんぜん] 4000 = 四千 [よんせん] 5000 = 五千 [ごせん] 6000 = 六千 [ろくせん] 7000 = 七千 [ななせん] 8000 = 八千 [はっせん] 9000 = 九千 [きゅうせん] 10000 = 一万 [いちまん] Now let us count some

JLPT N5 - Lesson 4 - Hiragana Part 2 - Dakuon and Handakuon

Image
Dakuon ( '' ) or dakuten are two small strokes placed on top-left corner of certain hiragana/katakana that changed the sound of those basic kana. It is the voiced sound of か [ka],さ [sa], た [ta] and は [ha]-row syllables. The 'K' sound will be 'G' sound with dakuten, for example, か (Ka) will become が (Ga). The 'S' sound will be 'Z' sound with dakuten, for example, さ (Sa) will become ざ (Za). The 'T' sound will be 'D' sound with dakuten, for example, た (Ta) will become だ (Da). The 'H' sound will be 'B' sound with dakuten, for example, は (Ha) will become ば (Ba). Handakuon (。) or handakuten is a small circle placed over は [ha]- row syllables and modify the consonant pronunciation from H sounds to P sounds. All the Dakuon and Handakuon characters are listed in the above picture. Now let us make some words with the Hiragana characters that we have learnt already だけ [dake] - Only ごご [gogo] - Afternoon どこ [dok

JLPT N5 - Lesson 5 - Katakana Part 1

Image
Katakana - actually there are no difference in sound in both sets of characters only the looks are different - hiragana is curvy but katakana is more straight compare to hiragana and few characters looks very similar for example He - へ ヘ and Ri - りリ . Another difference is that hiragana is used as okurigana - prefixes for kanji but katakana character's usage is limited to writing foreign/loan words mostly. # Other than words of foreign origin, to write any foreign person name or place name or any object name Katakana is used. # For writing repeating word or onomatopoeia also Katakana is used for example ワンワン [wanwan] - dogs barking sound. # Sometimes to emphasis a particular word in a sentence also written in Katakana, such as それはダメです。 46 Basic katakana characters are shown in the below picture: Now let's practice some words in Katakana. After any consonant vowel, if another pure vowel is used then it become long vowel. For long vowel ー this sign (a long dash sign)

JLPT N5 Lesson 20: Asking Questions

Image
How to ask a question This lesson aimed at helping elimentary level students learn how to ask questions. Here we will learn how to form an interrogative sentence in Japanese. We will also learn about the question words those are necessary to ask a question. Note: In the above illustration, the verb 'にげる (run away)' has been used in one of the sentence, but this verb may not be tested in JLPT N5 level. Question Marker In Japanese, the particle 'か' is used as the equivalent of English question mark (?) . Just by placing the particle か at the end of a simple affirmative or negative sentence we can make it an interrogative sentence and the structure of the sentence will not be affected in any other parts of the sentence. Whereas in English we know the sentence structure needs to be changed to agree with numbers (singular/plural) and to agree with the tense of the verbs when we transform a simple sentence to an interrogative sentence. In that sense Japanese is ea
