Script and Vocabulary
Practice word meaning and usage, kanji readings and kanji meaning in context. Use pictures and short everyday sentences. Kana study supports this work, but full mock practice should go beyond matching identical characters.

JFT syllabus and question formats
What to practice for each JFT section
Reviewed and updated September 28, 2026
Conversation and Expression
Choose grammar and responses that fit a situation: asking for help, requesting permission, replying to a coworker or making plans. Read the whole exchange before choosing a familiar phrase.
Listening Comprehension
Listen for the meaning of conversations, shop or public-service exchanges, and announcements or instructions. Identify the next action, destination, time or changed plan. The official test allows up to two plays per audio; listening answers cannot be revisited after moving on.
Reading Comprehension
Understand short messages and find information in notices, advertisements, schedules and instructions. Check exceptions such as changed opening hours or a different meeting location.
Free JFT study materials in Nepali
Use the official Irodori Nepali edition and lesson audio, or the IRODORI online course for video-based study. Start with foundations, then work through Elementary 1 and Elementary 2 as you build A2 skills. Pair lessons with topic practice and mistake review.
JFT-Basic and JLPT N5 are separate exams
N5 is a JLPT level, not a JFT level. Choose the matching practice track and check each exam’s own sample questions. A mock percentage cannot be converted directly into an official JFT scaled score.

Preparation coverage
Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese JFT Preparation
JLPT N5 Preparation
Japanese language preparation study plan
JFT and JLPT N5 learners can use this coverage as a practical checklist for Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese JFT Preparation, and JLPT N5 Preparation. Start with the official guidance for your exam, then use the matching Yashi Academy practice path to check your understanding.
Use it as a preparation checklist: confirm your exam category, practice topic-wise questions, take mock tests under time pressure, and review weak areas before starting the next round. That routine keeps your revision tied to a dedicated Japanese language preparation path instead of a generic study plan.
Pick the right preparation track
Start with the Japanese language preparation track that matches your exam and learning level, then use the listed coverage areas to focus your revision.
Practice in short daily sets
Use JFT-Basic Preparation in Nepal: Mock Practice and Study Resources practice questions for recall, then repeat the topics where your score drops instead of only attempting new questions.
Take timed mock tests
Timed tests help you build speed, reduce exam pressure, and notice whether mistakes come from weak concepts, confusing options, or reading too quickly.
Review mistakes before moving on
A wrong-answer review is the highest-value revision block. Write down why the correct answer is right and return to that topic after a short gap.
High-priority topics to start with
Begin with these visible categories, then move into the remaining practice areas as your mock-test results show what needs more revision.
Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese JFT Preparation
Practice this area with short question sets first, then include it in timed mixed mock tests once your accuracy becomes consistent.
JLPT N5 Preparation
Practice this area with short question sets first, then include it in timed mixed mock tests once your accuracy becomes consistent.
