With personal Japanese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year.

After mastering 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing 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 TV, write by hand and online 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 this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.
