    Let's learn Japanese with qualified teacher! Beginners are welcome! I understand English and a little French, too:D I am qualified Japanese teacher. I majored in Japanese literature and linguistics in university.

    I hope to see you on Preply.
    Thank you

    Learning foreign language is not always fun, but once you get to know the language, you can understand its culture, too.

    Why choose Hitomi T.
    "Since Hitomi started teaching me (a week ago) I feel I made quite some progress and could start to fill in mi gaps in knowledge. With that, I felt more able to communicate. The lessons are fun and always go by sooo fast...! Hitomi understands very well what I have already learned and where I need more practice or information and makes sure I get that. At the same time she is making sure I don't get overwhelmed but challenges me so I will advance and learn useful things for me right now. Thank you, Hitomi-San! "

    Trilingual communication especially for Japanese If you are interested in Japanese but still hesitate to start, I recommend we start with a trial lesson first. I will find the best way for you to learn the linguistic.
    Therefore, I have a lot of experience I can share with you.
    I heard from a lot of people say Kanji(which is Chinese characters also using in Japanese) is too hard for remember.

    Why choose Dongqin L.
    "Lovely tutor to work with. She is patient, kind and helps me to learn as a beginner. I recommend! "

    😎Talkative Japanese guy living abroad😎 Please consult!.

    I also try to stay close to learners, because I can feel the pain from my experience of studying 2nd language.

    In my lessons, I offer flexible classes that meet the needs of students, such as learning using textbooks, practicing daily conversation, correcting pronunciation, and preparing for interviews.

    Why choose Ryotaro I.
    "Great guy that has done well connecting with my 12 year son. He keeps him focused, his lessons are engaging, but he also cares to learn about my son and his life. Connection makes the lessons enjoyable. My son looks forward to every lesson. Highly recommend. "

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How can I master Japanese in Cologne and what does it take in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 principal possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Cologne. 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 less pricey.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Cologne. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Cologne and online Japanese tutors.

🎟 Is it cheap to learn Japanese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Japanese tutors?

For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language schools and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and specialization. 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 load and tests, so research each program in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

Standardized 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand most words, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 study. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese teacher?

In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with detailed profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

Colleges as a rule structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
