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

• N5 focuses on elementary writing systems and essential vocabulary for daily greetings.
• N4 expands to about 300 kanji and introduces basic grammar structures for casual conversation.
• N3 requires around 650 kanji and the ability to follow everyday topics in newspapers or conversations.
• N2 proficiency means handling advanced articles, broadcasts, and business-level Japanese with about 1,000 kanji.
• N1 tests near-native fluency with approximately 2,000 kanji and the capacity to understand abstract or specialised material.

These levels give you clear milestones to track your progress and set realistic study goals.

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

• The hiragana syllabary (46 core symbols) expresses pronunciation and grammatical elements in smooth, curved strokes.
• Katakana also has 46 characters but uses angular strokes to write foreign loanwords, technical terms, and onomatopoeia.
• Kanji are logographic symbols adopted from Chinese, with each character conveying meaning as well as sound.

Proficiency in these scripts opens doors to comprehending everything from street signs to literary works.

Start with hiragana and katakana (they take a few weeks), then gradually build your kanji repertoire over time.
