How to Conquer and Master JLPT N3 Kanji (JLPT N3 कञ्जी कसरी जित्ने र मास्टर गर्ने)

By Minna No Kyoushi | October 21, 2025


Learning Kanji at the JLPT N3 level can feel like climbing a mountain — but with the right mindset, method, and strategy, you can not only climb it but enjoy the view from the top!

JLPT N3 स्तरमा कञ्जी सिक्नु पहाड चढेजस्तो लाग्न सक्छ, तर सही तरिका र योजना अपनाएपछि यो रमाइलो यात्रा बन्छ।

1. Understand the N3 Kanji Range

At N3, you’ll need to know around 600–650 Kanji, combining both N5 and N4 levels plus new ones.

N3 स्तरमा करिब ६००–६५० कञ्जी आउँछन् — जुनमा N5 र N4 का सबै कञ्जी र थप नयाँ कञ्जी हुन्छन्।

Focus on reading and understanding them in context (words and sentences), not just memorizing shapes.

2. Learn Kanji with Words, Not Alone

Never study Kanji in isolation. Learn them with real vocabulary like:

食べる (to eat), 飲む (to drink), 勉強 (study).

एक्लै कञ्जी याद नगर्नुहोस्। शब्दसँगै सिक्दा अर्थ र प्रयोग दुबै बुझिन्छ।

👉 Example:

書 (write) → 書く (kaku), 書きます (kakimasu), 書店 (shoten = bookstore)

This builds memory through usage.

3. Use Mnemonics and Visualization

Create mental stories or pictures for each Kanji.

जस्तै: “林 (forest)” = two trees together → जंगल।

Such small visual stories make Kanji unforgettable.

कञ्जीलाई चित्र र कथा बनाएर सम्झनु सजिलो हुन्छ।

4. Practice Reading Daily

Read short Japanese articles, manga, news, or JLPT texts daily.

दिनदिनै पढ्ने अभ्यास गर्नुहोस् — चाहे सानो लेख होस् वा JLPT सामग्री।

The more you see Kanji, the faster your brain recognizes them naturally.

5. Write to Remember

Even though JLPT doesn’t test writing, writing Kanji by hand strengthens memory.

हातले लेख्दा दिमागमा Kanji को आकार स्थायी हुन्छ।

Write each Kanji 5–10 times with vocabulary.

6. Smart Use of Apps and Tools

Use apps like:

Kanji Study

Anki / Quizlet (for spaced repetition)

JLPT Sensei / WaniKani

यी एप्सले दैनिक अभ्यास सजिलो बनाउँछन् र पुराना Kanji हरु दोहोर्याएर सम्झाउँछन्।

7. Group by Meaning and Theme

Study Kanji in themes:

Example – Nature (山, 川, 海), Emotions (楽, 悲, 怒), Time (曜, 期, 年).

थीम अनुसार सिक्दा दिमागमा सम्बन्धित Kanji हरु सजिलै बस्छन्।

8. Review and Repeat

Consistency beats speed. Review old Kanji weekly.

पुराना Kanji हरु हप्तामा एक पटक दोहोर्याएर अभ्यास गर्नुहोस्।

Use flashcards or JLPT Kanji books like “TRY! N3” or “Kanji Master N3”.

9. Make Kanji a Habit, Not a Task

Don’t treat Kanji as burden — make it fun. Watch anime or dramas with subtitles and try recognizing Kanji in scenes.

कञ्जीलाई रमाइलो बनाउनुहोस् — सबटाइटलसहित एनिमे हेरेर Kanji छुट्याउने अभ्यास गर्नुहोस्।

10. Believe in the Process

Mastering N3 Kanji takes time — around 3–6 months of steady effort.

धैर्य राख्नुहोस्। हरेक दिन १ घण्टा अभ्यास गर्नुभयो भने केही महिनामा ठुलो प्रगति देख्नुहुनेछ।

🌸 Final Thought

Kanji mastery is not about memorizing 600 symbols — it’s about understanding, connecting, and practicing daily.

कञ्जी सिक्ने कुरा सम्झन मात्र होइन, बुझ्ने र प्रयोग गर्ने हो।

With passion and daily effort, you can conquer JLPT N3 Kanji confidently!

यदि मन लगाए र नियमित अभ्यास गर्नुभयो भने, JLPT N3 Kanji सजिलै जित्न सकिन्छ!
