![]() Update to the N5 Anki Deckģ years ago I released an Anki deck for the N5. It simply isn’t the natural way the language is written. When I send my N5 materials to my proofreaders I have to rewrite it with kanji so that they can check it. Because if you are used to dealing with native Japanese with kanji, reading hiragana is quite difficult. But, I think they could strike a happy balance by including furigana on those words that use more difficult kanji. Of course, on the other hand, if the JLPT included all the kanji, it would be just that much more tougher. I could have guessed from the kanji’s meaning, decide or agree on, that this had something to do with rules or settlements. Had it been written with the kanji, 決まり, things might have gone a lot smoother. This word looked so familiar but yet I had hard time recognizing it quickly. I remember I had the vocabulary word きまり on the test one time (I think it was for the N4 level test long ago). So, cutting kanji learning short for now makes a lot of good sense.Īfter all, the test is kind of designed for this. There are a ton of other things you have to master for the N5 level, like the basic use of particles, that can take a lot of time and frustration. It is after all, more efficient to learn 100 kanji and call it a day. ![]() However, it seems like this isn’t popular with some. That way you can actually read what you have learned. That’s why I have always recommended to learn kanji when you learn a new word. If you choose to study them without the kanji. But the disadvantage is that you ‘know’ a lot of words, but you can’t read them.Īnd eventually, you will have to re-learn these words with the proper kanji with them. The advantage is that you only have to study a rather limited set of kanji (around 100). This has its advantages and disadvantages. They seem to be very grammar heavy and vocabulary and kanji light for the first level, N5. To make matters worse, the JLPT divides out content by levels. Should you use an app? Should you practice writing kanji until your arms fall off? A lot of people get lost in this mess. So, it is very easy to get confused as to what is the best way to get the job done. It seems like a book or a resource on studying kanji is made available every week. There are a ton of great kanji apps for your phone, like iKanji for iOS, or Kanji Study for Android. ![]() There is the famous ‘Heisig’ method of mnemonics and memorization. ![]() There are more ways to learn kanji then I can count. ![]()
