JLPT study path
Study precise distinctions, advanced structures, and register at full range.
Use いやに when a quality feels unusually or excessively strong, understand the uneasy coloring it often adds, and choose a more neutral everyday alternative when nothing feels off.
Use いざ naturally in いざという時, いざとなると, and いざとなれば, and recognize why bare いざ sounds dramatic, ceremonial, or playful today.
Follow a theater editor through one rehearsal and learn how いかにも expresses strong agreement, a typical fit, and a convincing appearance with らしい and そう.
Learn how あら frames an immediate reaction of noticing, mild surprise, concern, praise, or correction, and how it differs from おや, まあ, えっ, and あれ in everyday speech.
Use あやふや for information, memory, answers, plans, or roles that are not clear or reliable, without automatically accusing anyone of deliberate deception.
Use あべこべ when two expected positions, assignments, steps, or roles have been switched, and distinguish that concrete reversal from broad 逆, disagreement with 反対, and mere mismatch with ちぐはぐ.
Resolve the unusual spelling 彼の safely: it can record rare demonstrative あの, form the ordinary phrase かれの, or represent literary かの, but everyday demonstrative writing uses kana.
Use あっさり for food, style, behavior, and outcomes that feel free of heaviness, complication, or expected resistance, while keeping さっぱり, すっきり, and 簡単に distinct.
Learn why あくどい criticizes an excessive, nasty method rather than anything merely bad, and how it differs from 高い, ずるい, がめつい, 派手, and しつこい.
Learn how あからさま marks an attitude or action as conspicuously unconcealed, why it often sounds critical, and when 明らか is the natural neutral choice.
