• At N3, learners handle most daily communication and understand moderately complex texts.
• N2 demands roughly 1,000 kanji and lets you read articles, follow lectures, and work in Japanese environments.
• N1 requires about 2,000 kanji and signifies near-native comprehension across all contexts.

Working with a teacher who knows the exam structure gives you strategies and resources tailored to each level.
