Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I skill up on English in Tokyo and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four principal opportunities for learning English interactively in Tokyo. 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 better priced.) Your 2nd possibility can be local private language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private English tutor in Tokyo. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Tokyo and online English tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and popularity. Real student rating average for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

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

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. As proven by others before, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand most words, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

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

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 English will take at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.

🤳 Can I choose my own English teacher?

In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested English tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

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

Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools make available 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.
