What is the JLPT?

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an annual exam, offered twice a year in some countries, designed for students learning Japanese. It serves as a widely-recognized benchmark for gauging your proficiency in Japanese. While the material in this bundle is geared towards the N4 level of the JLPT, you don't have to take the test to benefit from it. The content is ideal for upper beginners who have already learned hiragana and basic grammar concepts.

Who is this for?

For upper beginners of the Japanese language and those wanting to take level N4 of the JLPT.

What does it include?

Our five-book bundle provides comprehensive resources to help you excel in the Vocabulary, Grammar, and Kanji sections of the JLPT N4 test. Additional materials covering reading and listening will be released soon, and they will be available to you free of charge with this purchase. This bundle comes complete with ALL accompanying MP3s, PDFs, ePub and kePub files, and Anki flashcard decks.

Note: This offer is for digital content only and does not include paperback versions. However, you will receive the same high-quality material in a convenient digital format.

Good material

I liked this study material and found it very helpful. Howerer, I would suggest that the use of romaji can be switched for katakana and hiragana. After all, this is for the N4 JLPT, anyone who take this test can already read katakana and hiragana.

Thank you! There shouldn't be romaji in the bundle--or did I miss something? If you think of it, please let me know where the romaji is and I'll remove it.

Thank you!

Much WOW!

Such a great bargain for the content you get. Plus the continued support and updates to the pack is grrrreat!
For me, it is written in a way that is easy to understand.
The hard part is memorizing the vocab and how the grammar works.

Great review! We're so glad you're enjoying the JLPT N4 bundle! We will add more to the N4 bundle soon including Anki decks and worksheets which should help with the vocab and grammar. Thanks for taking the time to write this!

I bought both JLPT4 and 5. Excellent value for money! The audio files help with the pronunciation. Thank you for the quality and your effort to put all this material together!!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like it. We'll be adding more to the N4 (and probably the N5 bundle as well) soon.

Great bundle

Great bundle ! It will really help me a lot with the JLPT next month but I am sad because we don’t have an ebook with the grammar, it could really help. Another one with reading comprehension and listening exercises will really be appreciate !

Sorry for being slow! We are working on the grammar. That should be ready within a few weeks, but I don't know if it would in time to help--sorry!

Ideal for the step-up from N5

Already a great help and, I'm sure, the future addition(s) to the package will round it off well

Thanks! More coming soon. We are working on the grammar. Then, we'll add the others soon after.

Good resource

It's a great material for learning Japanese as you can have a native audio for individual words and sentences. But it would be much better if there is a accompanied anki deck like the N5 bundle.

Great idea! I'm working on adding Anki decks as I go back and revise books. I'll get to it eventually!

Awesome resources

A great way to learn Kanji. Plenty of reinforcement with writing and examples of usage. Really helps to make sense of Kanji.

Jim Foster (Fuquay-Varina, US)
Great Stuff

I have studied N5 Kanji daily for almost two years now. I recognize them all but can properly remember more than half and have a good stab at the rest.

I came across the Japan Shop from their very beginning and over the many years I have kept engaged with their teaching aids. I own almost all of their bundles and find them very useful in my studies. Almost all of their products have native speaker sound files for vocabulary words and sentences.

Clay and Yumi almost seem like family by now!

Thank you, Jim! What a nice review. We really appreciate you and... welcome to the fam!

S
Sam

I see that N5 has 7 books and N4 has 5 books, are there plans to increase to 7 books in the near future?

If I buy N4 bundle now will I lose out on the 2 or 3 extra books added or because I bought the bundle, if new books are added to the bundle the books will also be added to the dropbox file?

Thank you,

Samuel Brinkerhoff

The Japan Shop

Hi, I loved the N5 bundle so I just purchased this one.

But I've just realised that there is no anki deck for the Kanji included with this one?

That is the biggest thing for me, is there any chance of one coming at all?

Thanks

The Japan Shop

It's definitely planned. I have it on my to-do list. Hopefully, it will be next week. Thank you!!
