      I teach natural Japanese. Children can also take my class. I can speak English, but my English skill level isn't high.

      I use a whiteboard and Google Pictures in lessons.

      If you have never studied Japanese at all, I welcome you.

      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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Chapel Hill, NC and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have several key possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Chapel Hill, NC. 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 possibility can be local specialized 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. Finally, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Chapel Hill, NC. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Chapel Hill, NC 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 cost of 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, availability and popularity. 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and testing, 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 extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

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

    Standardized 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand most words, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After gaining 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 learn 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly 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 a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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 choose my own Japanese teacher?

    In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have 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.
