    Native Certified Japanese Tutor with 7 years of experience Therefore, I do not use textbooks, but use my original slides to study. Japanese language has many particles and conjugated forms that can be confusing, and because of this, when making Japanese sentences, it is common to make mistakes in the order of words or use the wrong particles, resulting in sentences with different meanings.

    Why choose Sayaka A.
    "Sayaka is very likable and understanding of the different needs of each student. "

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in Kumamoto and what are my options in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 key possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Kumamoto. 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 other spource can be local specialized 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 Kumamoto. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Kumamoto and online Japanese tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive to learn Japanese and how much should Japanese tutors ask?

For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of fifty or so class hours each semester. Language centers and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and popularity. Real student rating average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

📚 How much Japanese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and graded tasks, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

🔥 Why is Japanese so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. As proven by others before, 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 common expressions, express yourself, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and easy 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 learners.

🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Japanese?

Some people 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 study. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your already acquired level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics 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, 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.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese teacher?

In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
