The JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) uses five levels to measure your skill, from N5 (easiest) to N1 (most advanced).

• At N5, you learn foundational scripts plus roughly 100 kanji and survival-level conversation.
• N4 adds more kanji (approximately 300) and straightforward sentence patterns for informal exchanges.
• N3 demands familiarity with 650 kanji and comprehension of standard written and spoken material.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• N1 represents expert-level command, including 2,000 kanji and the skill to process academic or technical content.

This tiered system allows you to identify your current stage and plan your advancement systematically.

Japanese combines three distinct scripts: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, each serving a different purpose.

• Hiragana provides 46 phonetic symbols for Japanese sounds and handles particles, verb endings, and native vocabulary.
• Katakana mirrors hiragana's 46 sounds yet employs sharper shapes for words like "コーヒー" (coffee) or brand names.
• Kanji represent concepts or objects directly; for example, 山 means "mountain" and can be read as "yama" or "san."

Mastering all three systems lets you read signs, menus, newspapers, and novels without relying on romanisation.

Begin by memorising hiragana and katakana in the first month, then tackle kanji progressively as you advance.
