Taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is a great way to not only assess your Japanese skills but also to give yourself a concrete goal for your learning. I am a firm believer in setting goals. It is the quickest way to make progress.
Unfortunately, with goal-setting, there is usually the problem of maintaining motivation. By paying money and making plans to sit in a test (usually) in a different city; however, you are making a major investment of time and money. There are few pressures in life that can motivate better than time or money. That’s why we always recommend any serious student of Japanese to sign up and study for the JLPT.
Japanese Vocabulary for JLPT N4 covers all the vocabulary needed to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test level N4. This is the easiest of the test levels and is suitable for beginners who have mastered hiragana.
Add the 1,200+ MP3s to your MP3 player, iPhone, or computer and listen while studying the book. Compilation MP3 files of each chapter's list are also included. These have each word followed by the example sentence for sequential learning.

What is the JLPT?
The JLPT measures Japanese proficiency through exams conducted twice a year in some countries. While taking the test isn't required to benefit from this bundle, it's an ideal tool for beginners who've learned hiragana and some basic grammar.
Who is this for?
For those ready to take on level N5 of the JLPT or those fairly new to the Japanese language, the JLPT N5 bundle is the perfect digital download! For absolute beginners, however, we recommend the Beri-Beri-Shoshinsha bundle instead.
Do I need to take the test?
Not at all. The JLPT is a great way to measure your ability and give you a goal to focus on, but many of our customers who purchase this bundle do so simply because it lays out beginner-level material in an organized manner.
What does it include?
This amazing FIVE-ebook bundle has everything you need to ace the JLPT N5 test! Included are Vocab, Grammar, Reading, and Kanji sections along with sound files, PDFs, ePubs, and - in some books - Anki flashcard decks. Anki is a free computer flashcard program. Download the software here. It does cost money for the iPhone version, but if you use it daily, it can be a powerful way to ramp up your Japanese skills.
Included, at no extra charge, are 1,445 MP3s of each Vocabulary and Example Sentence.
In addition, we are also including chapter sound files with example sentences and the English meaning, so you use it without referring to the book. Here is a sample of one:
