    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Mountain View, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few key options for learning Japanese interactively in Mountain View, CA. 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 second possibility can be local specialized 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. Finally, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Mountain View, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Mountain View, CA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Japanese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Japanese cost?

    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 class hours each semester. Language centers and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. 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 pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and tests, so research those in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so difficult 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. In reality, 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 everyday words, have simple conversations, shop and place orders 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 gaining 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 learn 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 take at least 600 hours of study. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional 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 coach?

    In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges usually offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
