The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is a standardized test to evaluate and certify proficiency in the Japanese language. JLPT ranges from N5 to N1 where N5 is the lowest level indicating a basic understanding of Japanese grammar, vocabulary, and kanji characters. It's designed for beginners who have just started learning Japanese.

Passing the N5 level indicates that a person can understand and use basic Japanese phrases, and have a foundation in the language that allows them to handle daily life in Japan.
