During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a president of SUNY Albany Japanese Student Association and also worked as a TA for Japanese 101 classes, and I absolutely love to teach languages! I understand it is often very hard to find a language tutor outside of the spoken community, and I hope to provide you with the opportunity to be exposed to authentic media sources to acquire natural fluency. Hope to hear from you soon!

Also, she's been helping me find resources that I can use to work on my Japanese outside of lessons. I know that some people won't do that because they want you to buy more lessons, but Hikaru genuinely just wants to help me learn both the language and the culture.

Japanese Lessons
While you may hear Japanese spoken all around the world, the language is primarily spoken in Japan. After all, it is Japan’s national language, and an estimated 128 million people speak it every day. That’s why it is a great idea to learn Japanese if you have an interest in traveling to Japan or learning more about the country’s history and culture. But where do you start? That’s where TakeLessons can help.
At TakeLessons, we offer Japanese lessons for kids and adults of all skill levels. Whether you have never spoken a word in Japanese or already know some basics, we will pair you up with a certified Japanese tutor who can accelerate your understanding of this Eastern language. Sign up with us today to find convenient and affordable Japanese lessons near you.
Why Learn
Japanese?
When you know how to read, write, and speak in Japanese, you can achieve a deeper and more complex understanding of this country and its culture. Not only can you interact and form friendship and business relationships with Japanese speakers, but you can write messages and read all kinds of texts. Maybe you want to learn Japanese so you’ll have an easier time traveling around the country, or perhaps you would like to read your favorite Japanese novels in their native language. Whatever the reason, our Japanese lessons for beginners can help.
Why Take Japanese Language Classes?
Japanese is a wonderful language to learn, but it can be tricky knowing where to start. After all, understanding the language involves learning the Japanese alphabet, which includes 99 sounds and five vowels, along with three different writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. While it’s certainly not impossible to learn the language on your own, a private Japanese tutor can do wonders for your progress.
During your one-on-one sessions through TakeLessons, your Japanese tutor will determine your current understanding of this language and create a game plan to help you meet your language goals. If you are a beginner, you will start with the basics to build a strong foundation. But if you already know some Japanese here and there, your tutor will challenge you with new vocabulary, grammar, and more. With your tutor’s undivided attention and support, you will receive the professional guidance you need to master the Japanese language.
Sign Up For Japanese Classes Near You
If you’re serious about learning Japanese, then we’re glad you’re here. When you sign up with TakeLessons, we’ll help you find flexible and hassle-free Japanese lessons near you. We offer online sessions along with in-person classes at either your home or your tutor’s studio to best suit your schedule.
To start, simply browse our selection of certified tutors. You can check out their background, read reviews from past students, and even reach out to them in advance to ensure they are a good fit. And if you’re a new student, you can take advantage of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on your first session.
