JLPT N5 Study Plan
AI-generated Daily Plans for the JLPT N5 (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, Beginner). Beginner-level Japanese proficiency exam covering basic kanji, vocabulary, grammar, listening, and reading.
What's on the JLPT N5 (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, Beginner)
- Hiragana and Katakana
- Basic Kanji (~100 characters)
- Basic Vocabulary (~800 words)
- Grammar (basic particles, polite forms)
- Listening Comprehension
- Reading Comprehension
Why it's hard
JLPT N5 isn't difficult content-wise but is unforgiving on kana and kanji recognition speed. Listening passes faster than beginners expect — you can't pause.
How Fennie helps
Fennie uses spaced-repetition flashcards for kana and the ~100 N5 kanji, plus listening drills at JLPT pace so you build recognition speed before test day.
A sample week of prep
- 01Mon — Kana review + 10 new kanji
- 02Tue — Vocabulary spaced repetition (40 words)
- 03Wed — Grammar drill: particles wa/ga/wo/ni
- 04Thu — Listening practice at JLPT pace
- 05Fri — Reading: short passages with new vocab
- 06Sat — Full timed practice section
- 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan
Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.
