JLPT N5 word list

The selection of N5 words follows the open list maintained in open-anki-jlpt-decks (MIT licence), which derives from the JLPT resources compiled by Jonathan Waller at tanos.co.uk (Creative Commons Attribution). There is no official JLPT vocabulary list; this is a community approximation.

Audio

Pronunciations are synthesised speech generated from the kana reading of each entry. They are a learning aid, not a recording of a native speaker.

Mnemonics

Memory hints for kana characters are written by the Kanabit author.
