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

• At N5, you learn foundational scripts plus roughly 100 kanji and survival-level conversation.
• At N4 level, you handle simple discussions with expanded kanji knowledge and elementary grammar.
• 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 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.

The average price for one hour of Japanese tuition in Penrith is approximately $33/h.

Rates can shift based on multiple criteria:

• The learner's stage (novice, developing, 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 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.

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

• Hiragana provides 46 phonetic symbols for Japanese sounds and handles particles, verb endings, and native vocabulary.
• The katakana script (46 symbols) captures non-Japanese vocabulary and sound effects with distinctive, blocky lines.
• 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.

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