Find your Japanese tutor in Edwardstown

The basics of Japanese are easier to grasp once you break them into small, connected parts.

• Hiragana and katakana spell every sound in Japanese. Hiragana covers native words, while katakana is used for foreign loanwords like コーヒー (kōhī means coffee).
• Kanji add meaning to written Japanese. For example, 日 means day or sun and appears in hundreds of words.
• Basic grammar follows a subject-object-verb order, so the verb comes last. For example, 私はりんごを食べます means I eat an apple.
• Listening trains your ear for pitch accent and rhythm. Short daily audio clips help a lot.

A private tutor can show you which of these skills to prioritise first.

A private Japanese lesson in Edwardstown costs approximately $40/h.

Several factors influence the price:

• The level of study (school, university, adult learner)

Japanese becomes much easier when you follow a structured plan and review often.

• Flashcards with spaced repetition lock new words into memory. Short daily reviews beat long weekly sessions.
• Conversation with a native speaker trains your ear and your reflexes. Even ten minutes a day makes a difference.

• The JLPT levels (N5 to N1) give you a clear path from beginner to advanced.
