    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Richmond, VA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using apps, you have four principal options for learning Japanese interactively in Richmond, VA. 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 better priced.) Your second spource can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Richmond, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Richmond, VA and online Japanese tutors.

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

    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 cost of fifty or so lesson hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Average student satisfaction 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 tests, so research the details in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging 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. In reality, 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 common phrases, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Japanese?

    Some people seem to 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 required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Japanese or proficiency in 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 this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese tutor?

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

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges as a rule offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools make available 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.
