    Hi. How should I write for example lesson 1, class 1, part 1 or chapter 1, with a number and kanji?

    There are a lot of possibilities. For example, chapters in Minna no Nihongo are counted using dai-ka (ka are also used for chapters in novels).

    For example 第１課 is read dai ikka and means like... "the first chapter" or "chapter one".

    Whether this can be used for classes, parts and lessons, I do not know. My language school didn't count classes like that, they used the normal level words like 初級 and 中級, then just added numbers to those.

    Okay, but that's all I need, really. I couldn't find the kanjis for dai-ka since there separate with a variable number in the middle, but thank you! :)
