      I have only few experience of teaching Japanese as a volunteer.
      My classes are for focusing on speaking (oral )so if you want to know about the grammar or details of that, it isn't suitable to choose me !!,,,,I cannot teach about Japanese grammar.

I enjoy the weekly class with Maki sensei and my Japanese friends say my Japanese has improved a lot. Maki sensei sends me summary notes after each class and all of the new words/grammar learnt during the class are covered in the summary notes. The summary notes are so helpful during my revision after class. Thank you Maki sensei."

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Sterling, VA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 primary options for learning Japanese interactively in Sterling, VA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your 2nd option can be local private language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Sterling, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Sterling, VA 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for fifty or so class 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 country of residence, ratings and specialization. Real student rating 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and tests, so research the details 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 expertise they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. Realistically, 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 many sentences, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun 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 get better at speaking 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 take at least 600 hours of dedication. The amount of time can differ a lot 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 TV, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more 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, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

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

    Colleges usually 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.
