JLPT Preparation Courses in Hong Kong (N5–N1)

Berlitz Hong Kong offers JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) preparation from N5 to N1, in private 1-on-1, semi-private (2 learners) and small-group (3–4 learners) formats, online or at our Wan Chai centre. Lessons are taught by native Japanese instructors and planned around your target level and test date.

What is the JLPT?

The JLPT is the most widely recognised Japanese-language certificate. It has five levels, from N5 (basic) to N1 (advanced), and tests three areas: language knowledge (vocabulary and grammar), reading, and listening. In Hong Kong the test is usually held twice a year, in July and December. Check the Society of Japanese Language Education Hong Kong for application dates.

JLPT Courses for Every Level

Whether you are taking your first JLPT or aiming for N1, your course starts from your current level and your target test date.

BEGINNER

JLPT N5 & N4

Hiragana and katakana, core grammar, basic kanji and everyday listening — for learners building their first Japanese foundation.

N5–N4
INTERMEDIATE

JLPT N3

Longer reading passages, more complex grammar and natural-speed listening — the bridge from textbook Japanese to real-life Japanese.

N3
ADVANCED

JLPT N2 & N1

Business and academic vocabulary, long-form reading and advanced listening strategies for work, study or life in Japan.

N2–N1
EXAM TECHNIQUE

Exam-style Practice

Timed practice for each test section — language knowledge, reading and listening — with feedback on where you lose marks.

All levels
SPEAKING

Use Your Japanese, Not Just Pass

The JLPT has no speaking test, so we add speaking practice using the Berlitz Method — useful for interviews, work and travel.
