    Japanese teacher living overseas ✨ English fluent ✨ Teen & adults 🙆‍♀️ No one is perfect from the start.
    It's perfectly fine to make mistakes and take your time answering.
    Before coming to the Philippines, I worked as an elementary school teacher in Japan, so I have experience and knowledge in teaching.
    When it comes to teaching the JLPT, I have evidence and logical explanations.

    Why choose Takayoshi M.
    "Taka-sensei is a great and very motivated teacher. He answers all questions I‘m asking and knows how to keep his students motivated. I’m a real beginner and my current progress is faster and better than the time when I was studying using different apps. Even though he‘s not giving me any homework to do, I‘d advise everyone to take some time reviewing everything before attending another class since he likes to ask questions about some contents of past lessons."

    Japanese tutor from Japan.3years of experience I will let you know useful self-learning material for free. I am able to provide useful conversational phrases, grammar,listening ,JLPT, and so on in my lesson with another textbook. I will show you the tips to improve your Japanese even for beginners.

    Why choose Yukio N.
    "Yukio-san is one of the best tutors I have found. First reason he sets his lessons to what you want to learn about first. One thing I have found its not what he wants to teach you its what you as the student wants to learn. To find a tutor that does that alone is hard to do. Normally I have found tutors that want to spend 8 or 9 sessions on one thing the basics, which is good for some but not everyone learns in such a way. Plus when you are learning to speak you need words to speak. Yukio-san is one good tutor to learn to speak Japanese. "

    My hobbies are traveling, surfing, diving and listening to music.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How can I master Japanese in Cologne and what does it take in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 principal possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Cologne. 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 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Cologne. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Cologne 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 price of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language schools and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and specialization. Average student satisfaction for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

📚 What are the requirements for Japanese language skill level 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 load and tests, so research each program in advance. 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 maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

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 most words, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun 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 achieve a good level of 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 demand at least 600 hours of study. The actual range 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 a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese teacher?

In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with detailed profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

Colleges as a rule structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
