How Taking Private Japanese Lessons Can Help you Learn at Your Own Pace?

 



I went to Tokyo last month for a tech conference and had a hard time, even though I have used language apps for years. Hiroshi, one of my coworkers, saved me at a business dinner. He said, "Apps help you learn new words, but talking to people helps you speak more fluently." This new understanding completely changed how I learn Japanese.

 Most people who are learning a language have the same problem: the pace of the classroom is either too fast or too slow. Private Japanese lessons can help with this basic issue by adapting to the way you learn and the speed at which you learn. I would like to share what I have learnt about teaching and learning Japanese over the last ten years.

 


The Benefits of Personalisation

 In traditional classrooms, there is only one set of lessons that everyone follows. I once heard from a senior developer at NTT, "Group classes made me learn business Japanese at the same time I needed technical words for database documentation." This problem is solved by private lessons.

 Your teacher makes each class fit your needs and goals. Need to learn keigo (honorific speech) for a meeting with a client? That is where your teacher looks. Want to know how to read technical books? They will stress important words and grammar rules.

 

 

Feedback Loops in Real Time

 When students take private Japanese lessons, teachers notice mistakes right away. This keeps you from picking up bad habits that are hard to break later on. Their job is to pay attention to your specific problems and come up with exercises that will help you solve them.

 From teaching engineers from Silicon Valley to Singapore, I know that correcting someone right away builds neural pathways that reinforce correct language use.

 


Schedules that are flexible for busy professionals

 In group classes, you have to be there every time. Instead of the other way around, private Japanese lessons fit into your schedule. Not able to go because of a new product launch? Change the time so you do not miss any important content.

 An engineer from Microsoft told me, "I could not commit to Tuesday nights for six months straight." "My private teacher worked with my flexible schedule and kept me moving forward."

 


The Point of View of an Investor

 It costs more for private lessons than for apps or group classes. But think about the efficiency factor. Focused private study for three months can often do in one year what other methods take a year to do.

 Do you want to save time or money? For workers whose time is worth money, the maths is easy to understand. The investment pays off in the form of faster career growth and deeper cultural connections.

 It is not like climbing a mountain to learn Japanese; you need personal guides who know the shortcuts to get around. You will be able to speak Japanese with ease sooner than you think if you take private lessons.
