If you're searching for a comprehensive Las Vegas Japanese course but aren't positive how to get started, Varsity Tutors offers one of the best products on the market. Japanese is spoken by approximately 127 million people, mostly on the Japanese archipelago. It is one of the most important languages in the world, but bears few similarities to any other known language group. Some progress has been made in relating it to Korean, but it's difficult to draw definite conclusions since little is known about the language's early history.
There are many reasons why a student might want to start studying Japanese. Local high schools such as Centennial High School and Rancho High School may offer Japanese as a foreign language option, so high school students might need help to understand the basics. Similarly, universities like the University of Nevada, Las Vegas offer Japanese at the undergraduate level. You might be planning a trip to Japan, or be interested in Japanese media such as manga or anime. No matter why you've decided to start studying Japanese, we can enroll you in a Las Vegas Japanese class to help you pursue your goals.
What skills can I practice in a Las Vegas Japanese course?
Practice is key to learning any foreign language, and Japanese is no exception. While it's easy enough to listen to Japanese language media online, you won't know if you're interpreting it correctly. Furthermore, you can't interact with a YouTube clip, meaning that your spoken Japanese could suffer even if you listen to the language regularly. Enrolling in a Las Vegas Japanese class carves out a set amount of time each week to practice the language with a knowledgeable instructor. If you're a novice, your instructor can patiently answer any questions you have. If you're more advanced, your instructor might conduct entire sessions in Japanese to provide a truly immersive study experience.
Working with a private instructor can also help you improve your written Japanese. Many English speakers find written Japanese confusing because it consists of a combination of Chinese kanji (pictures representing ideas) as well as two sets of phonetic letters. Your instructor can work to help you determine when to use each, and then review your work to identify what you did well and any areas that could use improvement.
Your instructor can also help you understand the intricacies of Japanese grammar. For example, Japanese sentence structure requires that the verb is always the last word in a sentence. This means that while "I drink milk" is correct in English, "I milk drink" is the appropriate Japanese phrase. If you feel as though you're having a hard time with these fundamental differences between the two languages, your instructor can show you mnemonic devices to make concepts easier to remember.
How will my Las Vegas Japanese course be structured?
Every course consists of a virtual classroom filled with students and a knowledgeable instructor at the head of the class. Each teacher undergoes a thorough vetting process, so you can count on studying under the tutelage of someone who really knows their stuff. Our proprietary live virtual platform also allows you to see and hear your instructor as if you were in the same room, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand.
You can also interact with your classmates on our platform, allowing everyone to work together to create a collaborative learning environment. For instance, hearing your classmates speak Japanese can expose you to a variety of accents and dialects that more accurately represent what it would be like to be on the streets of Shibuya. You are also free to help out your new friends if they get stuck, reinforcing your own command of the material in the process. Studying in a group gives you a better value for your money than you could get on your own, and you can arrange private study sessions outside of your normal class time if you need extra help with something.
We also try to make attending our courses as convenient as possible. Multiple courses are offered concurrently, including two and four-week options that make it easier to find a fit for your busy lifestyle. New courses also launch every month, so you don't need to wait too long to get started.

Kiana: Las Vegas Japanese course instructor
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.

While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.
