      Let's learn Japanese with qualified teacher! Beginners are welcome! I understand English and a little French, too:D Learning foreign language is not so easy. I understand that dilemma as I had learnt English, French, and other languages.
      Please try not to be shy when you learn Japanese.
      If you like to learn Japanese, let's start with me! I try to make the lesson enjoyable and meaningful.

      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! "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Arcata, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have 4 primary opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Arcata, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second possibility can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Arcata, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Arcata, CA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and specialization. Average student satisfaction 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. Realistically, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand common phrases, speak on some level, socialize in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable 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 master Japanese?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will take at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing 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 television, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese tutor?

    In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
