• N5 covers basic hiragana, katakana, around 100 kanji, and simple everyday phrases.
• At N4 level, you handle simple discussions with expanded kanji knowledge and elementary grammar.
• N3 demands familiarity with 650 kanji and comprehension of standard written and spoken material.
• N2 proficiency means handling advanced articles, broadcasts, and business-level Japanese with about 1,000 kanji.
• At N1, you operate at near-native competence, reading intricate texts and recognising around 2,000 kanji.

This tiered system allows you to identify your current stage and plan your advancement systematically.

A private Japanese lesson in Malaga generally runs at $30/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The learner's stage (novice, developing, advanced)
• The tutor's expertise and credentials (diplomas, years in education)
• Session length and regularity (hourly bookings, ongoing commitment, accelerated programmes)
• Where you meet (video calls, your residence, the teacher's studio)

Many tutors provide a free trial lesson so you can test their teaching style before committing.

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.
• The katakana script (46 symbols) captures non-Japanese vocabulary and sound effects with distinctive, blocky lines.
• Kanji represent concepts or objects directly; for example, 山 means "mountain" and can be read as "yama" or "san."

Proficiency in these scripts opens doors to comprehending everything from street signs to literary works.

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