Japanese has two counting systems: the Sino-Japanese and the native Japanese.

The Sino-Japanese system (the most common system):

• 1 = ichi, 2 = ni, 3 = san, 4 = shi or yon, 5 = go
• 6 = roku, 7 = shichi or nana, 8 = hachi, 9 = kyuu or ku, 10 = juu

Native Japanese numbers (often paired with everyday items):

• 1 = hitotsu, 2 = futatsu, 3 = mittsu, 4 = yottsu, 5 = itsutsu
• 6 = muttsu, 7 = nanatsu, 8 = yattsu, 9 = kokonotsu, 10 = too

Numbers 4, 7, and 9 have two readings because certain sounds are considered unlucky.

The average price for a Japanese lesson in Bridge of Allan is around £15/h per hour.

The final cost depends on a few important elements:

• The student's proficiency (complete beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your teacher's background (years of teaching experience)
• Lesson format (remote, in-person, or hybrid)
• Frequency and duration (one-off lessons or regular packages)

Online lessons often cost less while offering the same quality of instruction.

Japanese presents unique challenges, but each element follows clear rules once understood.

What makes Japanese distinct:
