Free printable worksheets for JLPT, HSK and CEFR

The word is printed and the meaning is left blank. The most common format for a weekly vocabulary check, and the quickest to mark because the answer key lists the same rows in the same order.

The reverse direction: the meaning is printed and the student produces the word. Harder than recognition, and the format that actually predicts whether they can use the word rather than just recognise it.

Two columns with the meanings shuffled. Lower difficulty than either quiz because the answer is on the page, which makes it a good warm-up or a fair task for a mixed-ability class.

Each word is printed with its reading and meaning, followed by empty boxes for repeated hand-writing. For classes with a written component, or where writing is what makes characters stick.

Japanese and Chinese only — not applicable to alphabetic languages.

A grid of cards to print, cut and fold — the word on the front and the meaning on the back of the same card. Useful for pair work and for students who do not have a phone in class.
