About N2 Gokaku

N2 Gokaku is a no-nonsense companion for conquering the JLPT N2 exam.

I’m Joe – an American living in Tokyo, working at an especially traditional Japanese company. Like you, I’m on the N2 journey, balancing study with everyday life in Japan.

I built this site for learners who want to cut through the fluff and get straight to what matters: clear explanations, targeted example sentences, and practical tools to make real progress.

Here you’ll find:
