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 expands to about 300 kanji and introduces basic grammar structures for casual conversation.
• N3 requires around 650 kanji and the ability to follow everyday topics in newspapers or conversations.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• N1 represents expert-level command, including 2,000 kanji and the skill to process academic or technical content.

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

A private Japanese lesson in Clyde generally runs at $55/h on average.

Rates can shift based on multiple criteria:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The teacher's experience and qualifications (certifications, teaching background)
• The duration and frequency of lessons (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive blocks)
• The mode of instruction (virtual, in-person at your place, at the tutor's venue)

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 also has 46 characters but uses angular strokes to write foreign loanwords, technical terms, and onomatopoeia.
• Kanji are logographic symbols adopted from Chinese, with each character conveying meaning as well as sound.

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

Begin by memorising hiragana and katakana in the first month, then tackle kanji progressively as you advance.
