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.
• At N2, you master around 1,000 kanji and interpret complex texts encountered in professional or media contexts.
• At N1, you operate at near-native competence, reading intricate texts and recognising around 2,000 kanji.

The JLPT framework helps you measure improvement step by step and choose appropriate learning resources.

A private Japanese lesson in Sunshine generally runs at $21/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)
• How often and how long you study (one-off classes, regular schedules, crash courses)
• Where you meet (video calls, your residence, the teacher's studio)

Choosing online sessions may also lower expenses while maintaining flexibility and quality.

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.

Once you command hiragana, katakana, and a solid base of kanji, you unlock authentic Japanese texts and daily communication.

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