The JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) uses five levels to measure your skill, from N5 (easiest) to N1 (most advanced).

• 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.
• 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.

Rates can shift based on multiple criteria:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The teacher's experience and qualifications (certifications, teaching background)

Japanese combines three distinct scripts: hiragana, katakana, and kanji, each serving a different purpose.

• 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.

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