    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in San Luis Obispo, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have four primary opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in San Luis Obispo, CA. 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 cheaper.) Your second resource can be local for-profit language academies that cost 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 San Luis Obispo, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local San Luis Obispo, 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 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews 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 prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level 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 expertise they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

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

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. According to experts, 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 common sentences, express yourself, socialize in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun 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 students.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 demand at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online 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.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese tutor?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified Japanese tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
