    I have been studying with Alisa-san for about two months now. She is a wonderful teacher, polite and kind, with a good sense of humor. Always ready to help and explain everything that is not clear to you (even multiple times in a row 😅) and well prepared for lessons. Totally recommend!

    Tomita is an excellent teacher. She is patient, gentle, and cared. Each lesson I learn new expressions and words to use. She also corrected my sentences and vocabulary when I was wrong. She also prepared an NHK short topic. It helped me to know Japan's hot issues and understand Japanese.

    Mio-sensei is by far one of the most fun and nicest sensei's I've had so far. My Japanese level is intermediate and she's helped a lot with refining my language. Our conversations are fun and engaging! I'm glad to have Mio as my sensei.

    Yuya senei has helped with my Japanese tremendously! Even after 2 years of Japanese classes in university, my conversational skills were not great. I feel a lot more confident in speaking and motivated to study after every lesson with Yuya sensei!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Herndon, VA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with special programs, you have four main options for learning Japanese interactively in Herndon, VA. 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 other spource can be local commercial language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Herndon, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Herndon, VA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Japanese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Japanese cost?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 1/2 of a hundred course hours each semester. Language academies and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $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 location, experience and languages the tutor can teach in. Average student satisfaction for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Japanese language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. In reality, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After acquiring 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 seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will require at least 600 hours of study. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, seek 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 coach?

    In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges schedule classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule have 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.
