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

• N5 focuses on elementary writing systems and essential vocabulary for daily greetings.
• 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.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• N1 tests near-native fluency with approximately 2,000 kanji and the capacity to understand abstract or specialised material.

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

A private Japanese lesson in Mile End generally runs at $70/h on average.

Pricing fluctuates according to various elements:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The instructor's track record and formal training (degrees, proven results)
• The duration and frequency of lessons (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive blocks)
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the teacher's location)

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.

• The hiragana syllabary (46 core symbols) expresses pronunciation and grammatical elements in smooth, curved strokes.
• 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).

Mastering all three systems lets you read signs, menus, newspapers, and novels without relying on romanisation.

Start with hiragana and katakana (they take a few weeks), then gradually build your kanji repertoire over time.
