Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable 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 learners.
How long does it take to achieve a good level of Japanese?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will take at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more 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.
How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Japanese coach?
In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested Japanese tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

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.
