JLPT Level N4 Resources

Kanji: ~300 Vocabulary: ~1,500 Summary: Can understand daily-life conversations, if spoken slowly. Can read simple materials aimed at non-native speakers.

Products I like:

I went on a french holiday, and while my family sunbathed, I crammed kanji with these flashcards.
It's the biggest improvement I've had in kanji, even more than my memorise-5-a-day-for-a-year experiment. Ever since, (reading) kanji has been my strong point. If your kanji reading is a bit rough, buy these. Immediately. You'll thank me. :)
