The bridge from N4 to N2 โ free Japanese practice for intermediate learners
JLPT N3 is the middle level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, sitting between N4 and N2. It is widely considered the biggest jump in the whole exam โ the point where Japanese stops being a set of textbook phrases and starts being a language you can actually read and listen to.
To pass N3, you need to know around 3,750 vocabulary words and 650 kanji โ roughly double what N4 asks for. This free quiz covers 120 essential N3 words across 4 categories: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs/expressions. None of them repeat the words in our N5 or N4 quizzes, so it is genuinely new ground.
This is a free, no-signup vocabulary trainer for the JLPT N3 exam โ the direct sequel to our JLPT N4 quiz and JLPT N5 quiz. Each question shows you a Japanese word (kanji or hiragana) and its rลmaji reading. Choose the correct English meaning from 4 options. After each answer, an explanation shows the reading, meaning, and notes on nuance and easily-confused partners.
