      I teach natural Japanese. Children can also take my class. We use GENKI textbooks, but students don't need Genki textbooks. Because I only refer to vocabulary and grammar. In many cases, we don't use Genki textbooks in class.

      I use a whiteboard and Google Pictures in lessons.

      I can speak English, but my English skill level isn't high.

      I have been teaching Japanese for more than 5 years, I'd like to not only teaching, but also learn about your country, culture, history, and language. If you are interested in Japanese, culture, we can exchange and talk about it by learning Japanese. If you are interested, please contact us.
      Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss how we organize a lesson! On a trial lesson, we just talk about what makes you want to learn Japanese, how long you have been learning, etc.
      Personally, when you learn a language, you learn grammar first, but you can find teaching styles that suit each method.

      Why choose 太一 横.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Bloomington, IL and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have four primary choices for learning Japanese interactively in Bloomington, IL. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your 2nd possibility can be local specialized language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Bloomington, IL. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Bloomington, IL and online Japanese tutors.

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

    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 overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual 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, availability and specialization. Real student rating average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of Japanese do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research those in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from many 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. As proven by others before, 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 expressions, be understood when you talk, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable 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 speakers.

    🤷 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of active use. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Japanese or familiarity with 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 news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more 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 pick my own Japanese teacher?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with detailed profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

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

    Colleges structure classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
