Hey everyone just a quick question hope you can help me out. I've just started learning Japanese, i hope someday to be able to speak it fluently and travel in Japan. I researched learning a lot before i started and i've set myself the goal of getting my JLPT Level 5 after a year of study. Do you think this goal is possible, i am certainly going to try.
Any feedback and info ob the Level 5 would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys.

I think JLPT N5 after a year is a definitely feasible. I passed N5 after studying for nearly that time. My tips would be:
- Listen to Jpod 101. You probably want to have studied beginner series 4,5 and 6, and any appropriate earlier newbie series to get you going, to be at the appropriate level. I couldn't understand the Jpod101 podcasts first time round by the time I took the test, but I still did OK on the test's listening comprehension
- I think you need to make sure you know the specific vocab and kanji for N5. Just knowing 750 words vocab without necessarily knowing the ones in the test isn't going to help. I'm studying for N3 now and the first thing I am doing is learning the N3 vocab
- The level is about half way through Japanese for Busy People 2 (I suspect that would be half way through Genki 2, but I've never looked at that book)
- There is a really good book for N5 by a company called Unicom (http://shop.whiterabbitjapan.com/japanese-language/jlptn5/the-preparatory-course-for-the-jlpt-n5-yomu-learn-kanji-vocabulary-grammar-important-forms-of-speech-and-conversational-expressions.html). It's well worth the money. It covers the vocab, grammar and kanji you need
N5 is a great goal. Passing it felt like a greater achievement than getting my PhD.
