      Let's learn Japanese with qualified teacher! Beginners are welcome! I understand English and a little French, too:D Also, I understand a little Chinese and Korean.

      Learning foreign language is not so easy. I understand that dilemma as I had learnt English, French, and other languages.
      Please try not to be shy when you learn Japanese.
      If you like to learn Japanese, let's start with me! I try to make the lesson enjoyable and meaningful.

      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! "

Ms. Kyoko is an amazing teacher, and she's also pretty cool. she takes her time to slowly go through the material, and reviews it as many times as needed. She makes you feel so comfortable to speak and practice the language, which was a really big deal for me because I get nervous when speaking in Japanese.

      Teacher with more than 4 years of experience Even when each course has a study plan, I adapt my lessons to your circumstances, if you need it.
      Hope to see you in class!
      I'm very patient, so if you worry about failing and constantly asking your teacher to repeat an explanation for something, you can feel comfortable and self-secure.

      Why choose Efraín M.
      "Absolutely the best teacher that I've had on Preply! I was very impressed with his patience and his natural teaching ability. The fact that he also speaks flawless english is a big plus. This allows him to easily explain concepts in ways that I can fully understand and then use. With Efrain's help, I am feeling much more confident with my pronunciation, grammar and the ease with which I can actually speak spanish. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel now. Book a trial lesson with him and you won't be disappointed. ¡Muchas gracias Maestro Efraín!"

    I have taken Rie Sensei's lessen for four moths. The way of her teaching method is fitting my need. We had variety topics of Japanese culture and society. After each class, Rie sensei always follow up my questions and send emails to me. That meant Rie sensei spent extra time to her Japanese stud...

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Lansing, MI and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 primary possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Lansing, MI. 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 a little more affordable.) Your other resource can be local private language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can look for a private Japanese tutor in Lansing, MI. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Lansing, MI and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Japanese and what do Japanese tutors charge?

    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 price of fifty or so instruction hours each semester. Language schools and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, positive reviews and specialization. Average reviews 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 pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and testing, so research the details 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 intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging 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. As proven by others before, 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, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick 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 speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking 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 require at least 600 hours of dedication. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available 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 television, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese coach?

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, certainly! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with extensive 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 usually offer 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.
