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!!!"

      Active Japanese teacher!! 🐬 Living in Mexico 🐬 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.
      In the beginner's hight class (A2), I aim to increase the vocabulary of Japanese and focus on talk.

      Why choose Kenji N.
      "Kenji is an excellent teacher! He paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. His lessons are engaging, very useful. He asks questions and gets the students to respond which is both fun and promotes learning faster. I would highly recommend Kenji teacher!~ n_n* (大推)Kenji老師非常有耐心又風趣,懂得學生程度,一步步討論更深入的題材,是一位會帶領學生進步的老師! 每次上課都感覺愉快、時間很快,會很期待下堂課~ 選Kenji 老師就對了!n_n*"

      I teach natural Japanese. Children can also take my class. 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.
      Many students want to speak Japanese skilling not reading Japanese skilling.

      Why choose Kentaro S.
      "So far I have had 5 lessons, which has started with the alphabet, numbers and time. Kentaro S is very organised and teaches in a methodical way - which suits me. We also practice speaking Japanese at every lesson - going through pronunication. Kentaro S is very patient and helps me with each syllable to then say the whole word. "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Davis, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have four key opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Davis, CA. 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 second resource can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Davis, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Davis, CA 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 overall charge for fifty or so lesson hours each semester. Language schools and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Japanese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and student demand. 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. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

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

    Formal 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 five hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and easy 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 master Japanese?

    Some people just 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 practice. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Japanese coach?

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

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

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