The Japanese Language Proficiency Test organises learners into five tiers: N5 at entry level through to N1 at mastery level.

• N5 covers basic hiragana, katakana, around 100 kanji, and simple everyday phrases.
• N4 expands to about 300 kanji and introduces basic grammar structures for casual conversation.
• N3 demands familiarity with 650 kanji and comprehension of standard written and spoken material.
• 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 Marrickville generally runs at $29/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The tutor's expertise and credentials (diplomas, years in education)
• 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 consists of 46 basic characters representing syllables like "ka," "mi," or "su," and it forms the backbone of grammar.
• Katakana also has 46 characters but uses angular strokes to write foreign loanwords, technical terms, and onomatopoeia.
• Kanji represent concepts or objects directly; for example, 山 means "mountain" and can be read as "yama" or "san."

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.
