JLPT N5 Study Planner (Beginner Japanese)

A clean, structured Notion setup to organize your Japanese study. Designed for JLPT N5 preparation, but also useful for anyone learning beginner Japanese at their own pace.

This planner helps you keep all your study elements in one place: vocabulary, grammar, kanji, reading, listening, progress stats, and a weekly schedule. Even if you’re not taking the exam, you can use it to stay consistent and track your learning over time.

What’s Inside:

• Study Plan — countdown to exam day with a progress bar
• Study Stats — track how many words, grammar points, and kanji you’ve mastered
• Vocabulary Database — words with readings, meanings, and examples
• Grammar Database — grammar points with form, meaning, examples, and notes
• Kanji Database — characters with readings, meanings, and sample words
• Reading Practice — passages linked to new vocabulary
• Listening Practice — audio/video practice with notes and vocab links
• Study Schedule — calendar for planning tasks
• Study Tools & Resources — notes, flashcards, and external references

Just like my other templates, I wasn’t able to find one that fit my needs, so I built this and kept improving it with new databases and elements over time. I’m sharing the full setup here for free as a way to give back to all language learners.
