FAQs

📊 What are the different Japanese language proficiency levels?

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

  • 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 learners can grasp everyday articles and dialogues using a mid-level kanji repertoire.
  • N2 proficiency means handling advanced articles, broadcasts, and business-level Japanese with about 1,000 kanji.
  • 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.

💰 What does a private Japanese lesson cost in North Melbourne?

Japanese lessons in North Melbourne typically cost around $42/h per session.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

  • The student's level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
  • The instructor's track record and formal training (degrees, proven results)
  • Session length and regularity (hourly bookings, ongoing commitment, accelerated programmes)
  • 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.

✍️ What are hiragana, katakana, and kanji?

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

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

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

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