📚 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and exams, so research those 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 maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.
🔥 Why is Japanese so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
Formal 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand common words, speak on some level, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready 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 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional 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 tutor?
In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Japanese tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?
Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually 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.
