        I took about 10 lessons with Chika-san and I'm very happy to have her as my teacher. The lessons are well-structured and in Japanese only, the explanations are clear and she makes sure I understand the grammar points and the vocabulary that are new to me. And on top of that, lessons with Chika-sa...

        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How to learn Japanese in Tauranga and what does it take in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have a few principal opportunities for learning Japanese interactively in Tauranga. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private Japanese tutor in Tauranga. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Tauranga 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 by dividing annual tuition by ten (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 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and student demand. Customer review 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 prove your profeciency level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and graded tasks, so research each program in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For best 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?

        Standardized 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand most sentences, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and affordable 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 level practitioners.

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

        Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will necessitate at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your available 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 news and movies, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try other 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 tutor?

        In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

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

        Colleges typically offer 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, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
