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

Sino-Japanese numbers (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

The variations for 4, 7, and 9 exist due to superstitions around similar-sounding words.

The average price for a Japanese lesson in Hull 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 (native speaker, certified instructor, university degree)
• Lesson format (remote, in-person, or hybrid)
• How often and how long (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.

Key differences from English:

• Three writing systems: hiragana (46 characters), katakana (46 characters), and thousands of kanji
• Grammar structure: sentences follow Subject-Object-Verb order, not Subject-Verb-Object like English
• No articles or plurals: there is no distinction between singular and plural nouns

Encouragingly: once you learn hiragana, you can read any word written in it correctly.
