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 (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

Numbers 4, 7, and 9 have two readings because certain sounds are considered unlucky.

The average price for a Japanese lesson in Worcester is around £28/h per hour.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• The student's proficiency (JLPT N5 through N1 preparation)
• Your teacher's background (years of teaching experience)
• How you take the lesson (remote, in-person, or hybrid)
• How often and how long (weekly sessions, intensive courses, or exam preparation)

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

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: there is no distinction between singular and plural nouns

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