JLPT N5 in 100 Days — a free, complete study roadmap Michi is a free, self-contained study roadmap that takes you from zero Japanese to JLPT N5 readiness in 100 days, at 45–75 minutes a day. There is no paywall, no advertising, and no account required — progress saves in your browser. It contains 100 daily plans, all hiragana and katakana, 105 kanji, 819 vocabulary words, 131 grammar points, and 67 free third-party resources, each credited to its creator with its licence. How it is structured

Days 1–14 — Kana Foundations: read all hiragana and katakana fluently.

Days 15–35 — Core Grammar & First Words: build simple sentences; core particles.

Days 36–60 — Kanji & Vocabulary Build: the bulk of the N5 kanji and vocabulary.

Days 61–80 — Consolidation: listening, reading, and joining it together.

Days 81–100 — Exam Preparation: mock exams, weak-spot repair, exam-day readiness.

Honest limitations The learning content is AI-drafted and human-reviewed. It has not been verified by a certified Japanese teacher, so errors are possible; corrections are the most valuable contribution anyone can make. The JLPT organisers stopped publishing definitive vocabulary and kanji lists after 2010, so every N5 list in circulation — including this one — is a community-compiled estimate rather than an official syllabus. Michi is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Japan Foundation, JEES, or the JLPT organisers.
