There are two ways to count in Japanese: one borrowed from Chinese, one purely 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

Some numbers have alternative readings to avoid sounds linked to bad luck.

Japanese lessons in Morecambe typically cost £18/h per hour.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The student's proficiency (JLPT N5 through N1 preparation)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (native speaker, certified instructor, university degree)
• How you take the lesson (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)

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

The difficulty depends on which aspects you focus on first.

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

On the positive side: spelling is phonetic, and verb conjugation follows predictable patterns.
