The Japanese Language Proficiency Test organises learners into five tiers: N5 at entry level through to N1 at mastery level.

• At N5, you learn foundational scripts plus roughly 100 kanji and survival-level conversation.
• N4 adds more kanji (approximately 300) and straightforward sentence patterns for informal exchanges.
• N3 requires around 650 kanji and the ability to follow everyday topics in newspapers or conversations.
• At N2, you master around 1,000 kanji and interpret complex texts encountered in professional or media contexts.
• N1 tests near-native fluency with approximately 2,000 kanji and the capacity to understand abstract or specialised material.

The JLPT framework helps you measure improvement step by step and choose appropriate learning resources.

A private Japanese lesson in Altona North generally runs at $50/h on average.

Rates can shift based on multiple criteria:

• Your current proficiency (entry-level, mid-range, expert)
• The teacher's experience and qualifications (certifications, teaching background)
• How often and how long you study (one-off classes, regular schedules, crash courses)
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the teacher's location)

Choosing online sessions may also lower expenses while maintaining flexibility and quality.

You must learn hiragana (phonetic syllables), katakana (borrowed words), and kanji (logographic symbols) to read Japanese.

• Hiragana provides 46 phonetic symbols for Japanese sounds and handles particles, verb endings, and native vocabulary.
• Katakana mirrors hiragana's 46 sounds yet employs sharper shapes for words like "コーヒー" (coffee) or brand names.
• Kanji are logographic symbols adopted from Chinese, with each character conveying meaning as well as sound.

Once you command hiragana, katakana, and a solid base of kanji, you unlock authentic Japanese texts and daily communication.

Start with hiragana and katakana (they take a few weeks), then gradually build your kanji repertoire over time.
