    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have several primary choices for learning Japanese interactively in Ithaca, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your other resource can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Ithaca, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Ithaca, NY 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 by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 45-48 course hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for 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 geography, availability and student demand. 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research each program 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 intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. As proven by others before, 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 words, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After gaining 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 have a 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 practice. The amount of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek 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 coach?

    In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

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

    Colleges typically offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
