30-Day Hiragana Learning Plan
Beginner
A realistic two-month path from zero to JLPT N5 readiness — kana, core grammar, particles, verbs, first kanji, then a mock test. One page.
The JLPT N5 is the first rung of the Japanese proficiency ladder, and it is very achievable in about two months of steady study — if you follow a sensible order. Many beginners waste time jumping between topics; this roadmap gives you a clear, proven sequence instead.
It maps out 60 days in logical phases: both kana scripts first, then core sentence grammar, then particles, then the ます-form verbs, adjectives, the て-form, and the N5 kanji and vocabulary alongside. The final phase adds daily reading and slow listening before a full mock test.
Everything is on one printable page so you can see the whole path at a glance and tick off each phase. Adjust the pace to your own schedule — the order is what matters most. Pair it with our N5 notes, kanji lists and practice tests for the actual study material.
Here is what you will find inside the PDF to support your learning journey:
