      Thank you

      I am qualified Japanese teacher. I majored in Japanese literature and linguistics in university.

      Why choose Hitomi T.
      "Since Hitomi started teaching me (a week ago) I feel I made quite some progress and could start to fill in mi gaps in knowledge. With that, I felt more able to communicate. The lessons are fun and always go by sooo fast...! Hitomi understands very well what I have already learned and where I need more practice or information and makes sure I get that. At the same time she is making sure I don't get overwhelmed but challenges me so I will advance and learn useful things for me right now. Thank you, Hitomi-San! "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Happy Valley and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with special programs, you have four main opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Happy Valley. 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 possibility can be local commercial language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Happy Valley. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Happy Valley and online Japanese tutors.

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

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (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 private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $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 geography, positive reviews and languages the tutor can teach in. Average reviews 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. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

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

    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 several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday sentences, 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 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 students.

    🤷 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 take at least 600 hours of study. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised 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 as many as possible 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, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges typically structure 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, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
