Kanji version of words usually written in hiragana

While these words are usually written in hiragana, sometimes you’ll see them written in kanji instead, so learning to at least recognize them is pretty helpful. Trust me on this, I got confused by 沢山 way too many times already haha

有難う（ありがとう）ー thank you 幾つ（いくつ）ー how many 流石（さすが）ー as one would expect 更に（さらに）ー furthermore, again, after all 既に（すでに）ー already 沢山（たくさん）ー a lot 丁度（ちょうど）ー just, exactly, precisely 出来る（できる）ー to be able 尚（なお）ー furthermore, still, yet 何故（なぜ）ー why 等（など）ー et cetera 程（ほど）ー degree, extent, approximately 然し（しかし）ー however 居る（いる）ー to be (people, animals) 有る（ある）ー to be (things) 恐らく（おそらく）ー probably, likely 下さい（ください）ー please (give me, do for me) 只（ただ）ー only,  just; free of charge 及び（および）ー and, as well as

JLPT | 日本語能力試験 Hey guys, throughout my time running this studyblr I’ve received a lot of questions regarding the JLPT exam. Personally, I myself have never taken the exam nor am I planning on doing so in the near future, however I have asked my closest friends around me who have taken the exam in the past, or who are currently studying for it, for advice regarding how to prepare for the exams. So below is some advice, information, and resources that I’ve gathered over time. I hope it’ll be able to help answer some of your questions! What is the JLPT and why is it important? The Japanese Language Proficiency Test is an internationally recognised exam that measures the proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. There are five levels, N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1. N5 is the lowest level, which is equivalent to basic conversational Japanese skills, and N1 is the highest level, equivalent to that of a native speaker. The JLPT is important say for example, if you plan on working in Japan in a job that requires you to use Japanese. How can I take the JLPT? The test is held twice a year (July and December) in some cities, and just once a year in other cities (December). On the official website is a list of institutions that hold the JLPT. Which level should I take? You can attempt sample questions from the different levels on the official website in order to understand which level you are. What will I be tested on? The JLPT tests examiners on their vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening skills. For a full view of all the items you will be tested on, check out the official website for more information. How should I study for the JLPT? There are a lot of websites online with information, resources, and study-guides for each level of the JLPT. This website hosts pdfs with practice tests, official workbooks, mock tests, and answer sheets for each level of the JLPT. It’s a good idea to purchase a textbook so that you can learn new vocabulary, grammar, and kanji, as well as get in some reading practice or practice exercises. -  For N5/N4 I can recommend the Genki series or Minna no Nihongo. -  For N3 Jitsuryoku Up! Nihongo Nouryoku Shiken has been recommended. -  For N2/N1 日本語総まとめ and Kanzen Master (新完全マスター) books have been recommended. I’ve been told kanji is used quite sparingly in the N5/N4 exams, so I’ve been advised that you shouldn’t spend all of your time studying kanji for those exams. A good idea is to focus on the recommended kanji for each level, and spend more time on vocabulary, grammar, and more time on reading and listening comprehension. You should try to study every day if possible. Studying/cramming for a certain amount of hours in just one session each week is not a good way to retain information. You don’t have to study in the traditional sense every single day, it can be anything from reviewing vocabulary, going through kanji flashcards, or talking with Japanese friends. Another good tip is to time yourself with the appropriate exam timings when taking a practice test online to see how you score under exam conditions. Recommended websites and apps: -  Memrise - for vocabulary -  Anki decks - for kanji -  iTalki - speak with conversation partners or Japanese teachers -  Nihongo Ichiban - JLPT materials -  JapaneseTest4You - JLPT materials -  Jisho - good online dictionary -  Nihongonomori - JLPT Youtube channel -  Tanos - JLPT materials Textbook PDF’s: -  Genki I -  Genki II -  Genki Answer Key -  Japanese for Busy People -  Kanji Look and Learn -  A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar -  Tae Kim’s Japanese Grammar Guide Disclaimer: As I mentioned before I’ve never taken the JLPT exam, nor do I plan on taking it anytime soon, so I cannot be certain that all the informatin I’ve listed is correct. If I’m wrong about anything please let me know! 頑張ってください！

Peace of mind.
