      8 years of experience teaching Japanese from super beginners to business clients. I understand students' fears and frustrations because I am also a French learner. Learning a new language requires time and consistency, but it is a great journey that we can pursue for a lifetime! So don't worry! Let's have fun! Because life is too short to hold yourself back and to be shy :)

      Why choose Mariko S.
      "Mariko-San is such a great tutor. I'm having a lot of fun learning with her. She is so good at pacing the lessons; she always pushes me, but in a way that I never feel left behind. She also gives great explanations of concepts, words and nuances whenever I need it. After every lesson I feel like I have learned things that I can actually remember and apply right away."

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Lexington, KY and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have a few key options for learning Japanese interactively in Lexington, KY. 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 less pricey.) Your 2nd spource can be local for-profit language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Lexington, KY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Lexington, KY and online Japanese tutors.

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

    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 rate for fifty or so course hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, positive reviews 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. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and tests, so research those 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 classes for adults, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    One-size-fits-all 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 common sentences, be understood when you talk, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast 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 achieve a good level of 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more 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 teacher?

    In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges typically run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools offer 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.
