JLPT N5 Resources - Vocabulary List 10
Vocabulary List - 09
Words Starting With 「わ」and other miscellaneous words
わ-行(わ-ぎょう) is the 10th row of the Japanese syllabary system. The character わ represents a sound consisting of consonant and vowel together. In romaji it is written as wa.*This list is a tentative guide (based on past exams) that is likely to match the exam requirements for the JLPT Level N5. Before 2010, there were only 4 levels of the JLPT, and the testing agency released official vocabulary and grammar lists for each level. As of 2010, the JLPT authority no longer publishes an official vocabulary list.
