Pass the JLPT — by section.
Not one more grammar list. A section-by-section walkthrough of each JLPT level — vocabulary & kanji, grammar, reading, listening — with original practice, full answer keys, and a trap clinic of the look-alikes that actually decide pass or fail. Written by a native speaker; every test fact points back to the official source.
What's inside each guide
- By section, the way you sit the test. One part for vocabulary & kanji, grammar, reading, and listening — what each section tests, the core knowledge, and the question types with strategy.
- The trap clinic. The confusions N4 really tests — て-form vs. potential, passive vs. causative, looks-like vs. hearsay そう, transitive vs. intransitive — each with the one-line tell that breaks it, plus a diagnostic that names your weak spot.
- Original practice + full answer keys. Every question is written from scratch (no reprinted past papers), with answer positions balanced and each answer explained.
- An honest plan. An 8-week study plan and a one-page cheat sheet for the night before.
Available now: JLPT N5 and JLPT N4 (English). N3 and a JFT-Basic edition (for the Specified Skilled Worker path) are planned.
