Frequently asked questions

What makes these passages JLPT N5?

Every passage is scored word by word against the N5 vocabulary list. Nothing is published below 99%, which means a whole passage holds a word or two above your level at most, and those are listed underneath it with their readings and meanings.

Are there passages with no unknown words at all?

Yes. 16 of these 30 passages are 100% N5, so you can read them start to finish without looking anything up.

Where does the Japanese come from?

28 passages were written using this level's vocabulary list, with word notes for additional vocabulary. The rest are public-domain stories from Aozora Bunko selected by vocabulary coverage; their grammar can be more advanced.

What if I do not know a word?

Every word in a passage carries its reading and its meaning, and opens the page it is taught on: the vocabulary entry for a word, the grammar point for a particle or an ending.

Is there an English translation?

Every passage currently has an English translation below the Japanese. Machine translations are labelled. Reveal it after your first reading to check your understanding.
