FAQs

📊 What are the different Japanese language proficiency levels?

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.
  • N4 adds more kanji (approximately 300) and straightforward sentence patterns for informal exchanges.
  • N3 requires around 650 kanji and the ability to follow everyday topics in newspapers or conversations.
  • N2 proficiency means handling advanced articles, broadcasts, and business-level Japanese with about 1,000 kanji.
  • N1 tests near-native fluency with approximately 2,000 kanji and the capacity to understand abstract or specialised material.

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

💰 What does a private Japanese lesson cost in Wollongong?

A private Japanese lesson in Wollongong generally runs at $31/h on average.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

  • Your current proficiency (entry-level, mid-range, expert)
  • The teacher's experience and qualifications (certifications, teaching background)
  • Session length and regularity (hourly bookings, ongoing commitment, accelerated programmes)
  • The lesson format (online, at home, or at the teacher's location)

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

✍️ What are hiragana, katakana, and kanji?

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.
  • Katakana mirrors hiragana's 46 sounds yet employs sharper shapes for words like "コーヒー" (coffee) or brand names.
  • Kanji are logographic symbols adopted from Chinese, with each character conveying meaning as well as sound.

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

Start with hiragana and katakana (they take a few weeks), then gradually build your kanji repertoire over time.
