Example JLPT N5 vocabulary quiz questions

Which word means teacher: 先生 (せんせい) or 学生 (がくせい)?先生 (せんせい). It is used for teachers and doctors, while 学生 means student.

What does 高い (たかい) mean?Expensive or tall, depending on context. It describes price or height, so the English word you choose depends on the sentence.

What does 大きい (おおきい) mean, and what is its negative form?Big or large. It is an i-adjective, so its negative is 大きくない (おおきくない).

Frequently asked questions

How should I study N5 vocabulary?

Review a small group of words each day, say each one aloud, and test yourself on the meaning before you check. Spaced review, where you revisit words just before you would forget them, helps them stick.

Should I learn the kanji or the kana reading first for N5 words?

Start with the kana reading and the meaning, then add the kanji once the word feels familiar. Practice the word inside a short example sentence so the reading and meaning stay together.

Can I export my N5 quiz to other tools?

Yes. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are available on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.
