Japanese for beginners in Petersfield: what the first months look like
The first weeks are about the two phonetic scripts, hiragana and katakana, which most adults read within a month. Pronunciation is easy for English speakers; word order and the polite and casual forms take longer. Kanji are added gradually, a handful each week.
Group classes run in universities and some adult learning centres in South East England, around £150 to £300 a term. Private tutors in Petersfield charge around £25 to £45 an hour; native tutors online from about £12. Japanese needs regular contact, so short, frequent lessons beat a long monthly one.
JLPT N5 to N1: sitting the Japanese test from Petersfield
The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test is held in the UK in July and December, usually in London and Edinburgh. N5 is the first step, N2 the level many Japanese employers ask for. The test covers reading, vocabulary and listening, but not speaking, so a tutor fills that gap.
From Petersfield, two lessons a week with some daily practice usually bring N5 within a year. Book early: seats in UK test centres sell out months before the exam. Between lessons, a Japanese conversation meet-up or a manga club is a relaxed way to keep practising.

Japanese courses: three ways to make progress
One lesson a week over the year
The most common rhythm among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you up roughly one level a year, provided you practise a little between lessons.
A sprint before an exam
Three or four lessons a week for one to two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.
Pure conversation to build confidence
No textbook: you talk about your day, the news, your job, and the tutor corrects recurring mistakes as you go.
Japanese courses in Petersfield: common questions
How long does it take to read Japanese?
Hiragana and katakana take a few weeks. Reading everyday texts needs around a thousand kanji, which most learners reach after several years. Apps help with memory, but a tutor keeps your reading tied to real Japanese.
Is the JLPT held in England?
Yes, twice a year, in July and December, with test centres in London and Edinburgh. Registration opens months before and places are limited, so plan your preparation around the date you can book.
