    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study using apps, you have 4 main opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Louisville. 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 better priced.) Your second spource can be local specialized 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 choose a private Japanese tutor in Louisville. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Louisville and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive 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 overall charge for 45-48 instruction hours each semester. Language centers and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Japanese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and student demand. Real student rating 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research all such requirements 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 best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

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

    One-size-fits-all 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand most expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy 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 learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to master 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 require at least 600 hours of active use. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Japanese or familiarity with 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 TV, try typing using your new language skills, find 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.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Japanese teacher?

    In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

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

    Colleges usually structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools give 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.
