In this article, we will get to know some channels on YouTube with free lessons aimed at the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT – Japanese Language Proficiency Test).
If you intend to study for the exam, this article is for you.

The JLPT has five levels, in which the N5 is the easiest and the N1 the most difficult. Every year the test is administered in various states of Brazil and abroad and aims to certify the student’s knowledge of the Japanese language.
However, many students do not have the financial means to pay for a course or to purchase their own study materials, having to resort to free resources to study and do well on the exam.
In that sense, we decided to share some YouTube channels focused on the exam, with free and educational content covering all five main levels.
