NIHONGO ICHIBAN 
Very essential words for the test. Thanks so much!
Benrina verbs
Subarashii desu.
Anyone have a list of these verbs with all of the required conjugations for the JLPT 5 test? Thanks.
@CK. When I make vocabulary cards I add all possible grammar forms and I have done a few for i-adjectives to far. As for verbs, it is on the to do list but since there is still so much to add to Nihongo Ichiban I don’t know yet when it will be ready.
Until then, it would be great if someone else knows how to help on this one.

Reblogged this on imserious4ursake and commented:
Very useful for those who want to take JLPT N5
Very useful list. Out of interest – are the verbs needed for each level published somewhere? Or is this list done from experience. Thanks
My wife tells me “forget” should be “wasureru”. It would probably help a few students to correct this mistake.
Typo corrected thank you for noticing.
In the grammer List I found this entry at line 33 & 34. Please check the entries. I checked in dictionaries, those entries does not exist.
