      Active Japanese teacher!! 🐬 Living in Mexico 🐬 I am very sorry, but I do not accept beginners class (A1).

      In the intermediate class (B1 - B2), I will focus on conversation aiming at fluent Japanese conversation. For slightly more specialized fields, students will be asked to select themes such as social conditions and Japanese culture.

      Native Certified Japanese Tutor with 7 years of experience I'm fun, friendly and passionate about teaching.
      - --- Japanese manner of living, history and culture class(including anime & manga)
      Knowing the language also means knowing the history and customs. The Japanese language has a long history and has evolved in its own way, influenced by many countries.

      Why choose Sayaka A.
      "Sayakan Sensei has been a great tutor from the start. I am Japanese American and learning to speak Japanese with an uneven foundation of knowledge, and Sayaka Sensei has done a great job assessing my skills and teaching accordingly. From the beginning, she set the tone to make me feel comfortable trying to speak, even with my mistakes. She's very patient and kind in how she corrects me. She's also encouraging, especially when I am maybe struggling during the lesson. I highly recommend Sayaka Sensei!"

      Experienced tutor for beginners About me
      I’m 21 years old. I was born and raised in Osaka, where I lived for 20 years. Now I’m situated in the US for study abroad.
      I love Japanese culture! My favorite anime is My hero academia, Saiki K, and aggressive Retsuko. Let’s talk about these things too if you like!

      Why choose Kyoko S.
      "Had many lessons with Kyoko and everyone I advance a little more. Ms. Kyoko is an amazing teacher, and she's also pretty cool. she takes her time to slowly go through the material, and reviews it as many times as needed. She makes you feel so comfortable to speak and practice the language, which was a really big deal for me because I get nervous when speaking in Japanese. Thank you Ms. Kyoko for teaching me every week, and I'm looking forward to seeing you in Japan:D!!!"

    Yuunosuke is a great help for my specific situation: I already know quite a bit of vocabulary, but I have trouble with casual conversation. Yuunosuke fills that gap perfectly, and on top of that he's friendly, knowledgeable, and uses very clear communication!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Columbia, MO and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have four key possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Columbia, MO. 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 cheaper.) Your second option can be local private 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. Fourth, you can look for a private Japanese tutor in Columbia, MO. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Columbia, MO 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 as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so lesson hours each semester. Language centers and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per 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, experience and student demand. 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research those 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 expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

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

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. According to experts, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, be understood when you talk, 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 mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with 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 teacher?

    In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week 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.
