      Let's learn Japanese with qualified teacher! Beginners are welcome! I understand English and a little French, too:D I used to work at ESL school (where to learn English as a second language) in Canada as a tutor and administrator. So, I know how to proceed the class and I understand how hard to get to know the foreign language.


      Also, I understand a little Chinese and Korean.

      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! "

Ms. Kyoko is an amazing teacher, and she's also pretty cool. she takes her time to slowly go through the material, and reviews it as many times as needed. She makes you feel so comfortable to speak and practice the language, which was a really big deal for me because I get nervous when speaking in Japanese.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Japanese in Yokohama and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have a few key options for learning Japanese interactively in Yokohama. 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 other resource can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Yokohama. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Yokohama and online Japanese tutors.

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

    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 cost of 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language schools and independent Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and specialization. Average student satisfaction 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 prove your profeciency level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and exams, 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 expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so challenging 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. According to experts, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most sentences, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After mastering 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 get better at speaking 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 take at least 600 hours of active use. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired 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 news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other 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 coach?

    In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

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

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