# JLPT N3 kanji list

The JLPT N3 is the middle level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, the bridge between the basics and everyday reading. These are the 395 kanji this course adds after the [N4 kanji](https://moji.ninja/n4-kanji/), grouped into 59 small themed sets. Each one links to a page with its readings, its stroke order and any example words.

The JLPT has not published official kanji lists since 2010, so dividing kanji into these levels is this course's own choice. N3 and N2 are the former level 2 list: N3 takes the kanji of the first three school years and then the most frequent, and N2 the rest. N1 takes its kanji from the rest of the jōyō list. A few everyday kanji, like 誰 and 猫, come earlier. Romaji are written the way you type them in the app (juu, not jū). For the two kinds of reading, see [on'yomi and kun'yomi](https://moji.ninja/onyomi-kunyomi/).

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: How many kanji are in JLPT N3?**
There is no official list. This one has 395 new kanji, which with the 284 before them makes 679.

**Q: Do I need the N4 kanji before starting N3?**
It helps, but you don't have to. In Moji Ninja you can start at any level: pick it on the Kanji tab.

**Q: How long does it take to learn the N3 kanji?**
At 5 new kanji a day, a first pass through all 395 takes about 11 weeks. Reviews then keep them fresh.

**Q: Why do some kanji have no example word?**
Each example uses no kanji but the one you are learning, and many of these kanji appear almost only in compounds with other kanji.
