      Language is not just a sound or written expression. It is a way to express our feelings to others. Believe in your potential and enjoy learning together! I have no official teaching experience, but I have spent 10 years communicating with people in English. And I have experience teaching Japanese to my foreign friends.
      I am good at teaching friends until they are satisfied with answers.

      We are looking forward to seeing you all!
      Thank you very much!

      Why choose So K.
      "I have learned so much in my Japanese classes with So-sensei. He paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a text book but in his classes He asks questions and gets you to respond which is both fun and promotes faster learning. He is patient and eager to help. I had just a few classes but I'm exited to keep forward."

      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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have a few key choices for learning Japanese interactively in El Cajon, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second spource can be local specialized language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in El Cajon, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local El Cajon, CA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable to learn Japanese and how much should Japanese tutors ask?

    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 fifty or so class hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Average reviews 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 prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume 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 expertise they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so difficult 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. According to experts, 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 everyday phrases, be understood when you talk, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready 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 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, find 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.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Japanese teacher?

    In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day 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.
