Hiragana, katakana, kanji: how Japanese lessons begin

Japanese has three scripts. Hiragana and katakana, two syllabaries of 46 basic signs each, can be learned in two to four weeks; kanji, the characters borrowed from Chinese, come gradually, around 2,000 for daily reading. Pronunciation, by contrast, is easy for English speakers: few sounds, no tones.

A good tutor teaches spoken Japanese and the scripts side by side, and explains the politeness levels that change verbs depending on who you talk to. Expect around 2,200 class hours for professional proficiency, but only a few months for useful travel phrases. Learners in Hell Bridge often combine an online tutor with Japanese films and podcasts between lessons.

Japanese lessons in County Clare: price and the JLPT

Face-to-face Japanese tutors are mostly found in Dublin and the university cities; elsewhere in County Clare, online lessons are the realistic option. Online, native tutors from Japan charge €12 to €35 an hour; a local tutor or a university evening class costs €25 to €45 an hour or €200 to €350 a term.

The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) runs from N5, the easiest, to N1. It is held once or twice a year in a limited number of cities in Europe, so check the nearest centre early. N2 is the usual target for working in Japan; N5 or N4 make a good first milestone after six months to a year of lessons.

Japanese courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week, all year

The most common pace for adults: it keeps motivation up and gains about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one or two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Conversation only, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news and your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Japanese courses in Hell Bridge: common questions

Can I learn Japanese on my own with apps?

Apps are fine for the kana and vocabulary, but they do not correct your speaking or explain when to use polite forms. One lesson a week with a tutor, with apps between sessions, works better than either alone.

Which JLPT level should a beginner aim for first?

N5. It covers the basic kana, about 100 kanji and everyday phrases, and is reachable after 150 to 300 hours of study. It gives a clear goal for the first year and a date in the diary to work towards.
