A good way to prepare for an exam is to read textbooks that cover the types of questions you will encounter on the exam. For example, the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) measures your proficiency in the Japanese language. Below is a list of a few textbooks that will assist you in preparing for the JLPT N5.

Genki I : An Integrated Course in Elementary
It takes a lot of effort to learn Japanese. Learning as a beginner can feel challenging. The language has so many facets. What’s the best place to start? Almost every Japanese student will answer “Genki” if you ask them.
Japanese textbook Genki was published by The Japan Times in 1999. A second edition was published in 2011 with revisions and updates.
In addition to Eri Banno, Yoko Sakane, Yutaka Ohno, Chikako Shinagawa, and Kyoko Tokashiki, the text was contributed by several authors.
As soon as the Genki textbook was released, it quickly became a popular choice for Japanese university classes across North America. In recent years,
it has gained considerable popularity and continues to be a popular choice even among self-learners. It has been endorsed by countless students and teachers.
Does this devotion have a real purpose? Do you believe the hype surrounding the Genki textbook is outdated? Let’s examine Genki I and its accompanying workbook in its second edition to find out.

Tanki Master Drill N5
With this book, you can prepare for the JLPT easily.
Tanki Master JLPT N5 is a resource that has been created for those taking the JLPT N5.
You can use the book to identify your weak spots in all sections of the test, including vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening. Reviewing this book or checking your level before an exam is especially useful.
There are two parts to the JLPT N5 Fast-Track Practice Exercises. This book contains practice questions based on the JLPT in the first part, and a practice test approximately half the length of the real test in the second part.
As well as an answer key and dialogs, a CD is included for the listening section. This program is designed to build confidence in a short amount of time for the JLPT. If there is still time before the test, you can use the book in two different ways:
Let’s assume the following. Practice the first part of the test (practice questions) several months before you take the test to identify your weaknesses. Review it again, paying particular attention to the sections that you had difficulty with. Once you are confident about your abilities, you will take the practice test.
This is the second. In case you have limited time before the JLPT, you might want to try the practice tests. Afterward, practice the questions from the sections you found the most challenging.
Tanki Master JLPT N5 book structure:
Practice vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening with JLPT-style questions. Take a JLPT practice test (limited time) and see how you do. There are about twice as many questions on a real JLPT as there are on the practice test.

Each Kanji is also accompanied by a hand-drawn illustration that illustrates how the Kanji was made and explains the illustration so you can better understand its meaning.
Illustrations and explanations will simplify the process of memorizing kanji.
All the Kanji from Level 4 are included in Part 1. A total of 20 lessons and the Kanji of old Level 3 are covered in Part 2. Each lesson includes a Kanji exercise. The third lesson concludes with a short section of JLPT-type exercises, and the first and second lessons end with a longer section of comprehensive exercises.

Format for JLPT N5
Vocabulary
Each of the following types usually has a handful of questions.
- Choose the appropriate reading for the underlined kanji.
- You must choose the kanji for the underlined hiragana word
- Fill in the missing word in a sentence using contextually defined expressions. You need to use the context of the sentence to choose the best answer since more than one word might fit grammatically.
- Find the best word or phrase to replace (with the same meaning) the underlined one.
- Choose the most appropriate sentence to use the given word.
Grammar
The following types have around five questions, similar to the Vocabulary section.
- The grammar form is chosen based on a sentence given to you, and you need to fill in the blanks with the grammar form.
- The sentence is composed of a few consecutive blanks. The blanks represent words or phrases. It is crucial to arrange them correctly.
- There are many questions related to one passage in text grammar. Fill in the blanks in the passage with the appropriate grammatical phrase.
Reading
There is only one reading comprehension section on the test. Then you read the passage and answer questions about it. You will encounter different types of questions below.
- The majority of reading questions fall into the category of comprehension (short, medium, long). Based on the reading, you answer questions. Some passages have one question, while others have multiple questions. There are long passages (1000 words) and short passages (200 words). Passage length and difficulty will vary depending on the level of the JLPT.
- It involves retrieving information about a figure in Japanese and answering questions about it. Graphs or charts were always part of the old JLPT. In all the new tests I have seen or taken, there is some type of advertisement or notice…something you’d typically find at a store or apartment building.
Listening
In this section of the JLPT, you are bombarded with questions, one after another, whether you are ready to move forward or not. Keep your focus on the question at hand. When the next question begins, bubble in your answer, even if you aren’t sure of the answer.
- Task-Based Comprehension: The situation is described, and you are asked a question about what follows. In the next step, you listen to the conversation (usually between two people) and are asked the same question again. Answers are written on a page for you to choose from.
- Comprehension Of Key Points: Similar to Task-Based Comprehension, this type of question follows the same flow. Typically, the conversation here is a bit longer, and the question tests your ability to recall details.
- Verbal Expressions: This section is fairly quick. There is an arrow pointing at one person in the picture. The floating arrow should say the phrase you choose. The choices you make are spoken, not written.
- Quick Response: A quick response is what this question is all about. One person says a sentence. Choodecide which response is most appropriate Again, the answers are
