JLPT N5 Kanji Practice Sheets

About these worksheets

JLPT N5 is the entry level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. This set covers the roughly 80 most fundamental kanji — numbers, days of the week, directions and everyday words such as 日 (day), 月 (month), 人 (person), 学 (study) and 中 (middle). Learning these first, with the correct stroke order, gives you the foundation for reading basic Japanese and moving on to N4.

How to use them

1. Pick the kanji you want in the set above — or click Select all.
2. Click “Print / Save as PDF” to generate your sheet.
3. Print the sheet and practice yourself, or hand copies to your students in class.

Each row builds the character up one stroke at a time one after another, then gives a grey stencil to trace and blank squares to write it from memory.
