SHIN NIHONGO 500 MON - JLPT N4-N5 (KANJI, VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR - 500 QUESTIONS FOR JLPT) Paperback – 1 May 2015

My (Japanese) Japanese teacher recommended it and I can see why.Very easy to take out to keep on top of things (for lunch breaks etc).Love it.

This is a really nice study aid. The book is broken down into 4 weeks, and then broken down into 6 days of 15 questions a day, with the 7th day as a review of the week with 35 questions. The questions themselves are broken down into 3 sections, letters (i.e. kanji), vocabulary and grammar. On the days 1-6, there's 1 question per section per page each with a translation of the full question and some key vocab/grammar broken out, and in the day 7 review it's 2 questions per section per page with references to other pages for further review. All of the answers are always on the following page as well, so there isn't much flipping through pages to check your answers.I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the N3 version in the future as this one has been so good.

This is a fantastic book to test your grammar & understanding if Japanese at level N4-5. It is divided up into 4 weeks and each section has a set of questions for you to answer. There are English translations for the answers on the back page of the questions

It's a good book, just thought it'd be bigger 😅

An excellent way to refresh your grammar, vocabulary and kanji reading skills. Recommanded for everyone who is prepairing for an exam.

I bought this in preparation for my N5 exam but whilst using it, became very stressed that I was doing very poorly on the exercises. Later realised, most of the content in this book is N4 level.Poor rating given as I believe it is misleading.The book itself is essentially a 4 week work book with exercises for each day and a test for the end of each week. I think its a great system and would probably be a great buy for N4, although I cant speak for how comprehensive the material covered is as I am not at that level. Will def use when I am at that point.

Great book, I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with seemingly-similar grammar points. During the first 6 days of each week, it explains each point (though maybe a little too briefly?). I used this book in conjuction with "Donna toki dou tsukau, Nihongo hyougen bunkei jiten" to further elaborate on trickier grammar usages.
