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.
• At N4 level, you handle simple discussions with expanded kanji knowledge and elementary grammar.
• N3 requires around 650 kanji and the ability to follow everyday topics in newspapers or conversations.
• N2 involves roughly 1,000 kanji and understanding nuanced content from newspapers, magazines, or workplace settings.
• At N1, you operate at near-native competence, reading intricate texts and recognising around 2,000 kanji.

These levels give you clear milestones to track your progress and set realistic study goals.

A private Japanese lesson in Petrie generally runs at $30/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The learner's stage (novice, developing, advanced)
• The teacher's experience and qualifications (certifications, teaching background)
• The duration and frequency of lessons (single sessions, weekly packages, intensive blocks)
• Where you meet (video calls, your residence, the teacher's studio)

Some teachers offer discounted rates for bulk bookings, which can reduce the long-term cost.

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.
• The katakana script (46 symbols) captures non-Japanese vocabulary and sound effects with distinctive, blocky lines.
• Kanji are logographic symbols adopted from Chinese, with each character conveying meaning as well as sound.

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

Learn hiragana and katakana early (achievable in weeks), after which you can steadily expand your kanji knowledge.
