      I teach natural Japanese. Children can also take my class. I want to like teaching Japanese to the students.

      If you have never studied Japanese at all, I welcome you.

      Many students want to speak Japanese skilling not reading Japanese skilling. So I teach actual Japanese sentences and natural Japanese sentences.

      Why choose Kentaro S.
      "So far I have had 5 lessons, which has started with the alphabet, numbers and time. Kentaro S is very organised and teaches in a methodical way - which suits me. We also practice speaking Japanese at every lesson - going through pronunication. Kentaro S is very patient and helps me with each syllable to then say the whole word. "

    Risa-san is a very patient and friendly tutor. She focuses on speaking as much Japanese as possible in lessons which pushes me out of my comfort zone and means that I get to practice lots of speaking with her.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Long Beach, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with special programs, you have several main options for learning Japanese interactively in Long Beach, CA. 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 second resource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Long Beach, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Long Beach, CA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it 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 cost of 45-48 class hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly 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. Customer review average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of Japanese do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load 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 extras they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. Realistically, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand most words, be understood when you talk, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments 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 it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese coach?

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

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
