Common challenges in learning Japanese as an adult

You get frustrated or sidetracked while trying to learn Japanese. Even if you'd taken classes in school, it can be hard to recall what you'd learned. And since you're busy with other responsibilities, it can be very hard to keep your motivation and focus to learn Japanese.

Not enough chances to apply your learning in daily life

Rote learning of Japanese doesn't teach you how to really use it, and makes it more likely you'll forget what you've learned. It's important to apply what you learn in different situations.

Nervousness about communicating in public

Frequently learners won't catch everything that another person says, and worry about making mistakes themselves while speaking.

Don't know where to start

There are a million resources on the internet, but it's hard to tell what will make sense for you.

I’ve studied Japanese for a long time, so why am I still unable to really improve in Japanese?

Often people have studied Japanese ahead of an exam. But that often means just learning for a test, and not really learning the skill itself. Because the skill isn't applied enough in daily life, it becomes harder to commit your learning to your long-term memory.

3 key ways for adults to enhance their proficiency in Japanese
Immerse yourself in Japanese environment
Immerse yourself in Japanese environment
Learning Japanese can be boring when you're just working from a textbook. That approach also generally doesn't teach you how Japanese can fit into your daily life.

Instead it helps to make learning fun, and the easiest way to do that is to make Japanese relevant to your everyday life! In our courses, tutors will help you develop the right mindset and approach for learning Japanese through tailored lessons and real-life scenarios.
One-on-one, interactive teaching
One-on-one, interactive teaching
The best way to learn how to speak Japanese fluently is by actually speaking it with a live person! Of course, it isn't always easy to find a native speaker to practice with you. And as adults, we often become more self-conscious about speaking another language and worried about making mistakes. This is why it helps to learn with another person who is ready to support you, and who knows how to help you overcome mistakes.

When done well, online learning can help you overcome the obstacles in your path and the challenges of self-study. You can work with the teacher of your choice whenever and from wherever you want. Through steady practice, you can build confidence and proficiency in Japanese.
Tailored-made Japanese courses
Tailored-made Japanese courses
There are many organizations providing Japanese classes. However, they often emphasize theoretical knowledge, which means you're not always prepared to put what you learn into practice. In addition, the teacher's time is split among many students, making it harder to get personalized attention and help.

By contrast, one-on-one learning focuses on your individual needs. Your tutor is able to tailor the lesson for each student. For instance, if you want to learn Japanese for travel, the tutor can incorporate relevant lesson content that you can apply on your upcoming trip. Add to that flexible scheduling, and it's easy to see why one-on-one learning is the perfect match for busy life.

I have been taking her Japanese class for almost a year, and she is without a doubt one of the coolest language teachers I've ever had! Her teaching style makes learning fun and engaging, and she doesn't just stick to the textbook; she incorporates real-life applications, which has been particularly helpful for me since I work for a Japanese company. I've learned so much from her and am incredibly grateful for her awesomeness! 거의 1년간 수업을 듣고있습니다, 굉장히 재미있고 체계적인 커리큘럼은 물론, 실생활에서도 굉장히 유용한 것들을 배우고 있습니다! 일본어를 전혀 모르는 상태에서, 클래스를 통해 배운 후 몇달전 일본에 갔을때 어느정도 소통 할 수 있었고, 소통이 좀 더 나아졌기에, 현재 다니고 있는 일본계 회사에서도 동료들과 더 친해졌습니다. 선생님께 계속 열심히 배우고 싶어요!

I've completed 10 lessons now and am really enjoying them! Ri Sensei is a lot of fun and very easy to talk to! I appreciate that I am not put under pressure or made to feel bad if I don't remember something. Instead, Sensei is so very patient, kind, and encouraging! She really helps me to feel comfortable, which in turn helps me be able to ask lots of questions and learn lots of things 😊 手伝って下さってありがとうございます!!
