      I have been teaching Japanese for more than 5 years, I'd like to not only teaching, but also learn about your country, culture, history, and language. If you are interested in Japanese, culture, we can exchange and talk about it by learning Japanese. Personally, when you learn a language, you learn grammar first, but you can find teaching styles that suit each method.
      Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss how we organize a lesson! On a trial lesson, we just talk about what makes you want to learn Japanese, how long you have been learning, etc.

      Why choose 太一 横.
      "Taichi is helping me study and keeps me motivated and makes every lesson fun with interesting facts and well researched topics. Even if he didn't write it in his bio, he can also speak italian very well and we speak in italian when we don't speak in japanese. Very much recommended!"

      Graduate of a Japanese local Highschool teaches native Japanese ! I was able to keep up with the schoolwork with no difficulty, which surprised the students and the teachers back then. I have made many friends in Japan and I still get to talk to most of them.
      I do not have a qualified evidence that I have teaching experience, but I have a Graduation Certificate of a Japanese local Highschool.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Pittsburgh, PA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have several key choices for learning Japanese interactively in Pittsburgh, PA. 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 cheaper.) Your second resource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Pittsburgh, PA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Pittsburgh, PA and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Japanese and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Japanese tutors?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies 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 costs on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, positive reviews and languages the tutor can teach in. Average student satisfaction 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 prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, 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 add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized 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 expressions, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn 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 take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own Japanese teacher?

    In language centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges as a rule schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule offer 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.
