JLPT N5 (verbs) I

This deck contains about a third of the verbs you might find in the JLPT N5 test. You can find continuations of this list versions II and III.

The selection is randomized and will contain a mixture of ru and u verbs. Even though the verbs themselves are JLPT N5 level, the kanji for each verb is a mixture of levels.

If you'd like to review your basics about verbs and conjugation here is a reference:
