Daily Japanese vocabulary practice for JLPT N5 beginners

Vocabulary becomes useful when you can recognize it quickly in both directions. First look at the Japanese word and recall the English meaning. Then reverse the exercise: look at the meaning and try to produce the Japanese word aloud. This two-way practice is stronger than only reading a list because it prepares you for reading, listening, speaking, and timed quiz questions.

The theme buttons below group beginner words by real situations such as greetings, food, colors, body, travel, time, family, school, and emotions. Study one theme at a time instead of jumping randomly. After five to ten cards, pause and make one simple sentence with a word you just reviewed. For example, after learning mizu, say mizu o kudasai. After learning aka, look around the room and name something red.
