      Let's learn Japanese with qualified teacher! Beginners are welcome! I understand English and a little French, too:D Tough I do not have an experience as a professional Japanese teacher, I had taught Japanese to younger kids (aged 6-8) for 2 years and adult for 1 year in France.

      Learning foreign language is not always fun, but once you get to know the language, you can understand its culture, too.

      Why choose Hitomi T.
      "Since Hitomi started teaching me (a week ago) I feel I made quite some progress and could start to fill in mi gaps in knowledge. With that, I felt more able to communicate. The lessons are fun and always go by sooo fast...! Hitomi understands very well what I have already learned and where I need more practice or information and makes sure I get that. At the same time she is making sure I don't get overwhelmed but challenges me so I will advance and learn useful things for me right now. Thank you, Hitomi-San! "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study using apps, you have four main choices for learning Japanese interactively in Tempe, AZ. 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 a little more affordable.) Your second option can be local commercial language academies that are better priced 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 look for a private Japanese tutor in Tempe, AZ. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Tempe, AZ 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 price of fifty or so lesson hours each semester. Language schools and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and languages the tutor can teach in. 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 pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and graded tasks, 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 specializations they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

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

    Standardized 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, be understood when you talk, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid 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 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write 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 this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese teacher?

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

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges usually offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools give 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.
