Learning a new language like Japanese can be tricky, but 51Թ can help you get started with Tucson Japanese lessons that might make it easier. Whether you're a high school student at Tucson Magnet High School or you're taking a language course at the University of Arizona, seeking academic assistance outside of the classroom can simplify concepts and help you retain information. Japanese word order is a little different than Indo-European languages, so it can be challenging for a native English speaker to learn. We can give you more options to practice the new vocabulary and grammar you're learning.
Whether you're choosing Japanese as your second language because your degree program requires it or you're learning the language for personal reasons, we can help. When you choose the Japanese language, you're joining a community of more than 125 million people who also speak the language. While one of the world's major languages, it's most commonly spoken in and around the Japanese archipelago. Knowledge about the language is evolving as well. Once it was considered a language not related to any other, but there is a common theory that it belongs to the Japonic language family and is not in fact isolated from others.
No matter why you're choosing to study Japanese, whether you prefer one-on-one work with an instructor or you thrive in the collaborative environment of a classroom, 51Թ can help you to move forward in your study of the Japanese language.
What do Tucson Japanese lessons cover?
51Թ can help you to get started with two types of Tucson Japanese lessons. You can work one-on-one with a Tucson Japanese tutor, or you can join other students in a virtual classroom as they study Japanese too. Both options give you the opportunity to work with an experienced Japanese speaker. When you join a virtual class, you'll have other students to interact and converse with. You can learn from their experiences and insights, too. When you work one-on-one with a Tucson Japanese tutor, that individual can create a custom plan that is meant to help you reach for your Japanese language goals.
Consistency is the key in retaining the information you're learning Japanese. When you regularly practice the language, whether that's in reading, speaking, or translating, it helps you to recall information like word order. The word order in Japanese is subject-object-verb, as opposed to subject-verb-object in English and other Indo-European languages. No matter which method of instruction you choose, you'll have the opportunity to cover things like sentence structure, how nouns work, and common phrases. You'll also have the opportunity to interact privately with your instructor if you need extra help.
When you choose to take Tucson Japanese lessons in a virtual classroom, you'll work with other students and your instructor via our Live Learning Platform. Your instructor may choose to lead a class mostly in Japanese if the level of knowledge in the room allows, giving you simulated immersion. You can study pronunciation and spend time focusing on how nouns work in the language. Japanese nouns are different than English nouns because there is no grammatical number, gender, or article. A noun could refer to a single object or multiple. Also, there are some nouns that are plural.
For students who prefer the dedicated environment of one-on-one instruction, working with a Tucson Japanese tutor is the best option. You can connect with them via the Live Learning Platform and take advantage of the virtual whiteboard and video chat, or you can meet in a location you've agreed on, whether that's your home, a public library, or another location. Unlike traditional classroom instruction, you're the only student in these sessions, so your instructor has the flexibility to focus as much as you need on specific topics that are challenging for you. There's no need to worry about holding someone else back if you're struggling with vocabulary or conjugation of verbs. Your tutor can come up with a personalized plan after getting to know you; that plan can take your learning style and your strengths and weaknesses into account.
How can I get started with Tucson Japanese lessons?
51Թ can help you get started with Tucson Japanese lessons quickly. In fact, you could be signed up with a Tucson Japanese tutor in as little as 24 hours, while classes start monthly, so help isn't far away no matter what. Our educational consultants can help you to weigh the benefits of the two instruction types. If, during that discussion, you realize that combining the two could be beneficial, they can help you set that up too. Whether you're a student at Sunnyside High School, you're studying at a college or university, or you are an adult looking to learn the language for professional or personal reasons, we can help you get started with Tucson Japanese lessons.

Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems.

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.

I find that the one-on-one environment of tutoring is truly special because of the tutor-student relationship that can develop over time, and the learning and growth that can happen in such a setting. I love interacting with my students and helping them directly, and I love seeing students meet their learning goals. When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy singing karaoke, hiking, traveling, photography, and learning languages (currently working on Spanish!)
