Which JLPT level should I choose?

Choose the JLPT level that best matches your current reading ability. If you’re a complete beginner, start with JLPT N5, which introduces the fundamentals of kanji, vocabulary, and grammar step-by-step. If you already have some experience, you can begin at a higher level that feels challenging but manageable.

If you’re unsure, it’s usually best to start lower and build a strong foundation. You can reset your progress at any time and switch to a different chapter or JLPT level, so you’re never locked into a choice. This flexibility lets you adjust your path as your skills improve or if you decide to move faster or slower.
