📚 Study Tips for JLPT N2 Mojigoi Section

✅ 1. Learn ~6,000 Vocabulary Words

The N2 level expects a solid understanding of around 5,000 to 6,000 words. Focus on:

  • Academic and formal vocabulary (e.g., 影響、傾向、状況、責任)
  • Onomatopoeia and idiomatic expressions (e.g., いらいら、はきはき)
  • Compound verbs and set phrases (e.g., 言い出す、見直す、取り上げる)


✅ 2. Master ~1,000 Kanji

The N2 kanji level includes around 1,000 characters, many of which appear in newspapers and business settings.

  • Study through kanji compounds and collocations, not just single readings.
  • Learn usage patterns and look for shared radicals for easier memorization.


✅ 3. Read Extensively in Real Context

At this level, contextual understanding is everything. Start reading:

  • NHK News Web, Yahoo! Japan articles
  • Japanese business emails (models)
  • JLPT N2 reading comprehension passages

The more vocabulary you see in context, the more naturally you’ll recognize correct word usage.


✅ 4. Use JLPT-style Practice Tests

Practicing under exam conditions helps reinforce vocabulary recognition and test-taking skills.
