    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Whitby and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have a few key possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Whitby. 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 better priced.) Your 2nd possibility can be local for-profit language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Whitby. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Whitby and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive 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 rate for about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual 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 country of residence, ratings and languages the tutor can teach in. 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' 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 reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students 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 more effectively?

    Formal 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand many words, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy 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 learn 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 amount of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Japanese or familiarity with 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 television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Japanese instructor?

    In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with extensive 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 structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have 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.
