Study vocabulary, kanji & grammar across all JLPT levels.
Take the adaptive assessment to discover your true level.
Master Nihongo is a free study platform designed to help you prepare for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). Whether you are a complete beginner starting with N5 or an advanced learner aiming for N1, our structured approach covers vocabulary, kanji, reading comprehension, and translation exercises for every level.
The JLPT is the most widely recognized Japanese language certification in the world, accepted by employers and universities across Japan and internationally. It is divided into five levels: N5 (beginner) through N1 (advanced). Each level tests your knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, reading ability, and listening comprehension.
Our study tools include interactive flashcard drills, an adaptive level assessment that identifies your strengths and weaknesses, and daily AI-generated exercises that give you fresh practice material every day. Start by selecting your current level above, or take the Global Assessment to find out where you stand.

Support on Ko-fi ありがとうございます！Every bit helps.Everyone has a different reason for learning Japanese. Whatever yours is, we have the tools to help you get there.
Japanese is one of the most rewarding languages to learn, but it is also one of the most challenging. Between three writing systems (hiragana, katakana, and kanji), complex grammar structures, and a rich system of politeness levels, it can feel overwhelming at first. The key is consistency over intensity — studying a little every day is far more effective than cramming once a week.
At Master Nihongo, we believe that structured, bite-sized practice is the best way to build lasting fluency. Our vocabulary and kanji lists are organized by JLPT level so you always know what to study next. Our grammar guide breaks down every pattern with clear explanations and real examples. And our daily exercises give you fresh material to work with every single day.
Whether you are just starting with hiragana or preparing for your JLPT exam, remember: every kanji you learn, every grammar point you master, and every sentence you understand brings you one step closer to your goal. がんばって！
