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

• N5 covers basic hiragana, katakana, around 100 kanji, and simple everyday phrases.
• N4 adds more kanji (approximately 300) and straightforward sentence patterns for informal exchanges.
• N3 learners can grasp everyday articles and dialogues using a mid-level kanji repertoire.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• At N1, you operate at near-native competence, reading intricate texts and recognising around 2,000 kanji.

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

A private Japanese lesson in Bilinga generally runs at $20/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current proficiency (entry-level, mid-range, expert)
• The instructor's track record and formal training (degrees, proven results)
• The duration and frequency of lessons (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive blocks)
• Where you meet (video calls, your residence, the teacher's studio)

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 consists of 46 basic characters representing syllables like "ka," "mi," or "su," and it forms the backbone of grammar.
• Katakana mirrors hiragana's 46 sounds yet employs sharper shapes for words like "コーヒー" (coffee) or brand names.
• Each kanji carries semantic value and multiple pronunciations, such as 水 for "water" (mizu, sui).

Mastering all three systems lets you read signs, menus, newspapers, and novels without relying on romanisation.

Learn hiragana and katakana early (achievable in weeks), after which you can steadily expand your kanji knowledge.
