Kanji Trainer Content

Study material for Kanji Trainer: JLPT N5 vocabulary in four packs, 715 words, each with a picture, a recording, a reading, a meaning and an example sentence.

Packs

Pack	Holds	Words	Kanji	Single kanji	Compound	Okurigana	Kana only	Archive
n5-base	The core N5 kanji. Required by the app.	214	80	49	122	43		7.2 MB
n5-plus	The rest of the N5 kanji and one level harder	157	145	49	38	70		5.7 MB
n5-extra	N5 words written with harder kanji still	179	206	35	64	80		6.6 MB
n5-kana	N5 words normally written in kana only	165					165	5.1 MB
Total		715	409	133	224	193	165	25 MB

A word goes to the pack of the hardest kanji it is written with. Kanji counts the distinct kanji a pack's words use outside n5-base; n5-plus and n5-extra share 22 of them. Kana-only words are asked only in formats that do not show a written form (meaning, picture, listening).
