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

The native system (used for counting objects without specific counters):

• 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 Fleet is around £12/h per hour.

The final cost depends on a few important elements:

• The student's proficiency (JLPT N5 through N1 preparation)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (native speaker, certified instructor, university degree)
• Lesson format (online via video call, at your home, or at the tutor's location)
• How often and how long (weekly sessions, intensive courses, or exam preparation)

Some teachers provide a free first lesson so you can test their teaching style.

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

What makes Japanese distinct:

• Three writing systems: hiragana (46 characters), katakana (46 characters), and thousands of kanji
• Grammar structure: verbs come at the end of sentences, which feels backwards at first
• No articles or plurals: Japanese skips "the" and "a" entirely

The good news: Japanese pronunciation is straightforward, with only five vowel sounds and no complex consonant clusters.
