JLPT N4 requires approximately 1,500 vocabulary items and 300 kanji (up from 100 at N5). Kanji are now tested in reading and grammar sections — N4 learners must recognise kanji in context, not just kana. Focus new kanji study on the Joyo kanji Grade 1–3 subset and on kunyomi/onyomi readings for the highest-frequency N4 items. Vocabulary expansion at this level focuses on verbs and adjectives that collocate with N4 grammar patterns.
