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

Sino-Japanese numbers (used for dates, phone numbers, and maths):

• 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 (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.

Japanese lessons in Southall typically cost £35/h per hour.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current level (complete beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (years of teaching experience)
• How you take the lesson (online via video call, at your home, or at the tutor's location)
• Frequency and duration (weekly sessions, intensive courses, or exam preparation)

Many tutors offer discounted rates for booking multiple lessons in advance.

The difficulty depends on which aspects you focus on first.

Key differences from English:

• Three writing systems: hiragana for native words, katakana for loanwords, and kanji for meaning-based characters
• Grammar structure: sentences follow Subject-Object-Verb order, not Subject-Verb-Object like English
• 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.
