    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Shanghai and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have several main opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Shanghai. 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 option can be local specialized 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. 4th and last, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Shanghai. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Shanghai 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 by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual 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 location, positive reviews and student demand. Real student rating average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Japanese language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. All 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 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 so difficult and are there ways to learn it the easy 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand everyday phrases, have simple conversations, shop and place orders 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 attaining 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 master 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 demand at least 600 hours of study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing 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 you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese tutor?

    In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

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

    Colleges offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule 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.
