The JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), also known as 日本语 能力 试 験 (Nihongo-nouryoku-shiken) is a test organized by the Japan Foundation aimed to assess the knowledge of Japanese language .
is held every year on the first Sunday in December around the world. In Italy the examination venues are located in Milan and Rome. The JLPT is globally recognized and is therefore essential to certify the level of Japanese achieved thus enriching their curriculum. Starting this year we can achieve five levels of certification (in the past were 4). The easiest of all is the N5, the more difficult the N1. In this post I will try to give you some tips on how to prepare to support the N5 JLPT.
I passed the exam in 2008, after about 6 month or so to study very bland. The level of the examination is actually low; but this does not mean it is easy to overcome. On average 50% of the participants is rejected. Level 5 (as all levels of the JLPT up to 3 included) is divided into three parts:

- Vocabulary and Grammar
- Kanji 25 minutes 50 minutes 30 minutes Listening
advice to better prepare a study aimed at developing just these three basic skills. With regard to the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, I recommend the Genki Japanese Volumes I and II (find them on Amazon). Complete II is not essential for pass level 5. About half is sufficient. The characters are known to be 103. Here you will find the complete list. To learn how to best advise you Basic Kanji Book vol 1 (also on Amazon), by inserting the Kanji that gradually Anki and studied in parallel studies at Genki. The book covers 250 characters, but learn a few more never hurts; 103 are really little.
Once you have concluded that both Genki Japanese Basic Kanji Book vol 1, review grammar and vocabulary with "Preparatory Course for the JLPT N5 ": Very good in my opinion.
will now be listening. To the best practice on listening, but also on everything else, I recommend to take over the testing of previous years. Before this year the level was called simply N5 4, then you can just use them too. "Googled" a bit 'you will find all the tests until 1991 (it would be illegal .) Or you can buy from Amazon of booklets that have text and test solutions of the past years.
