I often get the questions for book recommendations. Here are the ones that I recommend to get ready for JLPT N5!
1. SHIN NIHONGO 500 MON - JLPT N4-N5
I didn't know about this book until I was already in N2. But I gotta say, it is something! It helps with kanji, grammar points and vocabulary. Technically is a bunch of questions and on the reverse page it has the explanation. Pretty neat!
2. The Preparatory Course for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test: N5 Reading
This was the very fist book I ever purchased and that might be the reason why I like it so much. The explanations are in English, very straightforward, and it has multiple choice questions for every grammar point that it teaches.
3. Japanese – Language Proficiency Test N5 - TEST OFFICIEL (+CD)
If I have learned something, it is that is very important to do a mock exam first. The JLPT official exam has some practice tests you can get for free, but here is this one that you can also purchase.
4. Japanese Short Stories for Beginners
Great book to practice reading. It has furigana and basic kanji. It also has the story full in Japanese and then it has it in both Japanese and English. Great book to really get into reading!!
Japanese Kanji Mnemonics JLPT N5
As for kanji I will of course include my book. The reason? This book was specifically created because I couldn't find any other book in the market that would satisfy my kanji learning experience. From the feedback I received, it has been useful to many students of the Japanese Language, so don't forget to give it a shot!
