FAQs

📊 What do N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1 represent in Japanese?

Japanese proficiency is ranked through the JLPT system, which spans from N5 for beginners up to N1 for near-native speakers.

  • 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 learners can grasp everyday articles and dialogues using a mid-level kanji repertoire.
  • At N2, you master around 1,000 kanji and interpret complex texts encountered in professional or media contexts.
  • N1 represents expert-level command, including 2,000 kanji and the skill to process academic or technical content.

These levels give you clear milestones to track your progress and set realistic study goals.

💰 How much do Japanese lessons cost in Geelong?

Japanese lessons in Geelong typically cost around $30/h per session.

Rates can shift based on multiple criteria:

  • The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
  • The instructor's track record and formal training (degrees, proven results)
  • How often and how long you study (one-off classes, regular schedules, crash courses)
  • The mode of instruction (virtual, in-person at your place, at the tutor's venue)

Some teachers offer discounted rates for bulk bookings, which can reduce the long-term cost.

✍️ How many writing systems does Japanese use?

The language relies on hiragana for native words, katakana for foreign terms, and kanji for meaning-based characters.

  • 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.
  • Each kanji carries semantic value and multiple pronunciations, such as 水 for "water" (mizu, sui).

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

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