Cost of Japanese lessons with a private teacher

Japanese tutors are not found in every town, so learners in Wootton Wawen often turn to university evening courses or to lessons online. In person, expect £30 to £45 an hour; group evening courses cost less but move slowly.

Online, native Japanese tutors charge from around £12 to £35 an hour. Many have experience with English-speaking learners and use materials such as Genki or Minna no Nihongo, which makes it easy to switch tutors without starting over.

JLPT N5 to N1: preparing for the Japanese exam

The JLPT runs in July and December, with five levels from N5, the easiest, to N1. It tests reading and listening only, so a tutor also keeps your speaking up to speed. N2 is the level many Japanese employers ask for.

The exam is held in London and Edinburgh, and places go quickly. Learners in Warwickshire usually book a few intensive lessons on past papers in the two months before the test, after a year or more of weekly lessons.

Hiragana, katakana, kanji: how lessons are organised

Your first weeks go on the two syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, which a good tutor helps you learn in a fortnight. Kanji come next, a few at a time, alongside grammar and polite forms of speech.

Japanese takes English speakers about 2,200 hours for professional fluency. Two lessons a week, daily vocabulary review and Japanese television with subtitles help you make steady progress in Wootton Wawen, even from a standing start.
