“Genki” and passing the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N5
**”Genki”** is a standard textbook for beginners of Japanese and is widely popular among Japanese language learners around the world. The content is structured to allow students to systematically learn expressions and grammar commonly used in daily conversation, and is sufficient to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the JLPT N5 level.
**However, textbooks alone do not guarantee passing the N5 level.
To pass the N5 level, it is important to thoroughly understand the content you learned in “Genki” and be able to use it in practice. To do this, the following efforts are effective.
Try solving the puzzles
You can check your understanding by solving commercially available N5 problem books. When solving the problem books, be sure to review the questions you got wrong.
Take a mock exam
By taking the N5 mock exam, you can familiarize yourself with the actual exam format. The mock exam results will help you identify your weak points.
Creating opportunities to speak Japanese
By creating opportunities to speak in Japanese, you can put the expressions you have learned into practice. It is also a good idea to use online English conversation services.
The Japanese Language Proficiency Test JLPT N5 course at the online Japanese language school JPLT uses standard study materials, but it also has a curriculum that allows you to take a daily conversation course at the same time to improve your conversation skills. The monthly tuition fee remains the same regardless of which course you take.
By making good use of **Genki** and combining the above efforts, you can aim to pass the JLPT N5 level.
