Counting in Japanese involves two distinct systems with different uses.

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

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

A private Japanese tutor in Trowbridge charges an average of £24/h per session.

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 (weekly sessions, intensive courses, or exam preparation)

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

Japanese differs greatly from English, yet its logic is consistent and learnable.

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

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