A friendlier starting point for Japanese and the foundations of JLPT N5.
Practise kana, explore the N5/N4 Kanji Map and read guides in English or Bengali without an account. PDF downloads have a separate verified-email requirement; email verification is not available yet.
The new app is in preparation. Its lessons focus on beginners and N5; the N5–N1 journey describes learning milestones. Battles, Community and Rankings are upcoming. Beginner learning remains free, with a separate optional early subscriber offer. A launch date has not been announced.
You can start before the app launches. Explore characters, grammar and guides in English or Bengali, then put one small idea into practice.

hello@nihongohub.appThese guides are edited by the NihongoHub Team. We refer to the official JLPT for exam rules and level descriptions, the Japan Foundation’s Irodori for everyday language, and EDRDG and KanjiVG for character references. Relevant sources are linked beside the content. NihongoHub is an independent learning project, not an official JLPT organization.
Our N5/N4 lists are maintained study collections, not an official exhaustive syllabus. Component-based memory aids do not always describe a character’s historical origin. If you spot an error, send us the page URL and the example so we can review it.
