    I booked lessons hoping to improve my oral skills. Ryo is always asking a lot of questions to me so I can speak as much as possible, and when I don't find my words she is always helpful. I am really enjoying our courses and encourage you to become one of her students ! :)

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Bakersfield, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have a few main options for learning Japanese interactively in Bakersfield, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your second spource can be local commercial language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Bakersfield, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Bakersfield, CA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Japanese and what do Japanese tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Real student rating average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Japanese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so hard and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Japanese?

    Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Japanese tutor?

    In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
