Study for the Level You Want to Pass
JLPT Test Prep is available for N5, N4, and N3.
Each course focuses on the grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening required for that level.
JLPT N5
Build the Japanese needed for the N5 level and prepare for basic vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening.
JLPT N4
Continue developing stronger grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening skills for the N4 level.
JLPT N3
Work toward the more advanced vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening required for N3.
Prepare for More Than Just Japanese Knowledge
Knowing Japanese is important, but taking a language test also requires knowing how to work through the exam.
You’ll work on:
- Essential grammar and vocabulary
- Reading comprehension
- Listening accuracy
- Test-taking strategies
- Time management
- Mock exam practice
Study at Home. Bring Your Questions to Class.
JLPT study continues between classes.
Study Room and Workbook homework give you time to review what you are learning and notice the parts you still need help with.
Then bring those questions into class.
You can check difficult grammar, vocabulary, reading, pronunciation, and other points with your instructor instead of staying stuck on your own.
Practice the Skills You Need on Test Day
JLPT is not only about remembering grammar rules.
You also need to recognize vocabulary in context, understand written Japanese, follow what you hear, and work within the time available.
Reading, listening, and mock exam practice help you see what you already understand and where you still need more work.
And the goal is not only the test.
As you build grammar, vocabulary, reading, and listening skills, you are also building Japanese you can continue using beyond the JLPT.
Use What You’re Learning Beyond Test Practice
Passing the JLPT may be your goal, but the Japanese you study does not have to stay inside test practice.
The vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening you build for the JLPT can also give you more Japanese to recognize and use outside the test.
Take It into a Real Conversation
Language Exchange gives you a chance to use some of the Japanese you have been studying with another person.
A real answer may not sound like the example you practiced. You may understand everything, catch only part of it, or realize that you need to hear something again.
That is part of what makes the conversation useful.
Sometimes the most useful result is not, “I said it perfectly.” It is, “Now I know what I need next.”
Stay Connected Between Lessons
Your Japanese learning does not have to stop when class ends.
Living Room gives current Blue House students a place to stay connected between lessons. You can see what other students are sharing, ask a question, respond when you have something helpful to add, or simply follow along.
Sometimes you may be the person asking for help. Another time, you may already know something that helps someone else.
Study Together When Students Organize It
Study Exchange is an optional, student-led way for students to study together outside class.
If students organize one, you can bring what you are working on, study alongside other students, ask questions, and help each other.
Study Exchange is not a regularly scheduled school event, and participation is optional.
Your JLPT study can help you work toward the test while also giving you more Japanese to recognize, use, and connect with in everyday life.

Start with the Right JLPT Level
JLPT Test Prep requires a placement test before enrollment.
If you are not sure whether N5, N4, or N3 is the right place to begin, you do not have to guess.
Check your current Japanese first, then start from the level that matches what you already know.
