EnglishWhich JLPT Kanji and Vocabulary Levels Are Covered on JLPT Sensei?
Updated
JLPT Sensei provides separate kanji and vocabulary lists for N5, N4, and N3 only. Grammar is the exception: it covers all five levels from N5 through N1. Each list is entered by its own level page, so you pick your level first and then open the matching kanji, vocabulary, or grammar list.
Coverage at a Glance
| Skill | N5 | N4 | N3 | N2 | N1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grammar (文法) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Kanji (漢字) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Vocabulary (語彙) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
The homepage presents these as level-selection blocks: a grammar block with links for all five levels, a kanji block with N5, N4, and N3 links, and a vocabulary block with N5, N4, and N3 links. It also offers a "View all JLPT Grammar" entry that collects the grammar lists in one place.
What This Means for Your Study Plan
If you are studying for N5–N3
You can build a full study set from the site: grammar, kanji, and vocabulary lists all exist at your level, each on its own page. This is the range where the site is most complete.
If you are studying for N2 or N1
Grammar is covered, but the visible kanji and vocabulary sections stop at N3. For those two skills at the upper levels, you will need another resource. Note that the site's blog does include upper-level material — for example, a recent post offers a batch download of N2 kanji flashcards — so check the blog posts as well as the main level lists before concluding a topic is missing.
If you are starting from zero
Begin with the N5 grammar, kanji, and vocabulary lists in parallel rather than finishing one skill before starting the next. The site also links to a free JLPT practice test, which is useful for checking whether a level's lists are actually sticking.
How to Reach the Lists
- Open the JLPT Sensei homepage.
- Find the section for the skill you want: Learn JLPT Grammar 文法勉強, Learn JLPT Kanji 漢字勉強, or Learn JLPT Vocabulary 語彙勉強.
- Click the link for your target level (for example, "View JLPT N3 Kanji List").
- Work through that level's list; return to the homepage to switch skills or levels.
A practical check: if a level link you expect is not shown in a section, that list is not part of the site's main navigation for that skill — use the grammar section or the blog for alternatives.
Common Pitfalls
- Assuming full coverage. The grammar section's five levels can create the impression that kanji and vocabulary also run to N1. They do not, based on the site's level links.
- Skipping the blog. Downloadable extras such as kanji flashcard batches are announced in blog posts, not in the level blocks.
- Mixing levels. Each list is tied to one level, so confirm the level label on the page before you start memorizing.
