Japanese is one of the most important languages in the world even though it is fairly isolated. Japan has more than 127 million speakers, but Japan is the only country that uses Japanese regularly. Learning Japanese can give you a better understanding of Japanese history, culture, and philosophy. For students at local schools such as Alexander Hamilton Senior High School or John Marshall Senior High School, learning Japanese can be a great way to fulfill any foreign language requirements for graduation. Likewise, many universities or colleges like the University of Southern California offer classes in Japanese language and culture.
What can I learn about during Los Angeles Japanese lessons?
Japanese is a fascinating language that can be very tricky for native English speakers to learn. An obvious difference between the two languages is that Japanese uses a different system of writing that is similar to Chinese characters. Learning Japanese requires memorizing thousands of these characters. This is a significant barrier to reading and writing Japanese for English speakers. Japanese also uses only two verb tenses: past and non-past. Japanese uses the same tense for present and future. This different way of expressing time can be confusing for English speakers. Japanese nouns are similarly constructed. They do not indicate number, speaker, or gender so context is an essential aspect of understanding and speaking Japanese. This sort of complexity makes Japanese an interesting but difficult language to learn.
In attempting to learn a language such as Japanese, learning in a formal context can be very helpful. Working with an expert can help you to better understand which content to learn first and how to build off of that foundation. Likewise, learning in a structured environment can help you to avoid bad habits in your study time and help you to track your progress. This sort of formal environment can also provide ample opportunities to practice speaking Japanese. Speaking a language requires you to utilize a number of skills and concepts at the same time which can help you to internalize your understanding of the language.
How can Los Angeles Japanese lessons help me to study?
There are two main options for your Japanese language study. You can learn in a classroom environment, or with a Los Angeles Japanese tutor. Either option can help you to study effectively, and both can accommodate a number of logistical needs.
Learning Japanese in a classroom environment can be helpful for those who like to learn by interacting with other people. You and your classmates can learn from a skilled instructor in a live virtual classroom. The interactions you have during your sessions are similar to those that take place in an in-person classroom, but these sessions are far easier to schedule and attend. In addition to listening to lectures, you and your classmates to discuss the ideas you and learning and ask questions to seek greater clarity from your instructor. You can also meet with your instructor outside of class time if you want to get extra help. There are new classes that start monthly. You are able to choose between two or four-week sessions and you can pick the session that fits your schedule best.
Whether you work with a Los Angeles Japanese tutor online or in-person, you can focus your sessions on your needs. You can pick the content that is most pertinent to your goals, and your Los Angeles Japanese tutor can help you find resources that fit your learning style. These sessions can address your content needs and help you to increase your confidence as well.

Kiana: Los Angeles Japanese lesson instructor
I like literature and performing arts most in life. I tend to incorporate both into classes to blend into textbook work. If you're looking for a more creative approach to language, that's what I provide. I have plenty of books and media that I've used myself to further my own studies.... I believe in going with the flow of nature. One must walk before they can run and crawl before they can walk.... I like to know personal preferences, so a fun personality test will be given.
