JLPT Speed Master N5: Grammar covers 83 grammar structures across 31 units, with each unit tackling 2-3 items. Each grammar point comes with example sentences and explanations in Japanese, with English, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese translations. Includes 12 conjugation tables, review exercises every five units, and two full mock exams. The answer key is in a separate booklet.
Speed Master is the only major JLPT prep series that publishes a full set of individual N5 skill books. Shin Kanzen Master starts at N4, and Nihongo Sou Matome combines all N5 skills into a single volume. Every Speed Master book follows the same three-part structure: a warm-up section that teaches strategies and key concepts, a practice section with exam-style questions, and mock tests to check your readiness.
This is the strongest book in the N5 set. The grammar explanations are clear and concise, the conjugation tables are genuinely useful as a quick reference, and the mock exams are a reliable gauge of readiness. If you're only going to buy one Speed Master N5 book, make it this one.
