Before you get started on this
awesome N5 course, there are a
couple of things that you might
want to know.

First, you really really need to use
an IME in order to get the most out
of this course. (Yes, I'm serious.)

IMEs help you type Japanese
characters on whatever OS you
have.

Most Mac and PC users prefer
Google IME. You can read more
about it at the link below:

Second, don't be afraid to make
liberal use of the ignore function.

Different levels of a course might test
the same material but in a different
way*. If you don't like being tested
that way just ignore it.
Different levels of a course might test
the same material but in a different
way*. If you don't like being tested
that way just ignore the entire level.
*I'll explain these differences in a moment.

Third, there are actually 3 - N5
courses that you can choose from.

This one tests you on the kana
spelling of the word then the kanji
spelling of the word.
Level 1 Level 2
red → あか　　　 red → 赤

Some people don't find this very
challenging because it usually just
involves you hitting the space bar to
change it into a kanji character for the
second test.
Level 1 Level 2
red → あか　　　 red → 赤

The N5 Readings course tests you on
how the word appears in common
Japanese and then tests you on its
reading. Like so:
Level 1 Level 2
red → 赤　　　　赤 → あか

What do I mean by 'common
Japanese'? I mean how that word
appears in natural Japanese writing.

You see some words have difficult
kanji, that no one uses. Like the word
for 'noisy' in Japanese:
うるさい → 煩い (not commonly used)
urusai

So, you are drilled on just the
hiragana spelling of the word and not
the kanji. You won't be drilled on the
reading of the kanji either.
うるさい → 煩い (not commonly used)
urusai

The final course, N5 Grammar, drills
grammar points for the N5 level using
vocabulary and phrases.
　Noisy dog → うるさいいぬ
urusai 　　　 inu

Each grammar point is introduced
through explanatory videos from my
YouTube channel.

Unfortunately this course is currently
under construction. But, I will be
adding to it regularly.

So there you have it all three courses for
N5. If you want to change to another
