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

• N5 covers basic hiragana, katakana, around 100 kanji, and simple everyday phrases.
• N4 adds more kanji (approximately 300) and straightforward sentence patterns for informal exchanges.
• 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.

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

The average price for one hour of Japanese tuition in Mill Park is approximately $34/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current proficiency (entry-level, mid-range, expert)
• 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)

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

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

• Hiragana consists of 46 basic characters representing syllables like "ka," "mi," or "su," and it forms the backbone of grammar.
• Katakana mirrors hiragana's 46 sounds yet employs sharper shapes for words like "コーヒー" (coffee) or brand names.
• 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.
