Whether you're interested in learning Japanese or are already an advanced Japanese student, Varsity Tutors can get you enrolled in a Phoenix Japanese course that can provide you with resources that can help you accelerate your Japanese language learning. Courses can accommodate all sorts of learners, whether you're an Arizona State University student, a professional in the workforce looking to add a new skill to your resume, or even a student at Trevor Browne High School or another area school, we can set you up in a course to fit your schedule and your needs. Language learning demands a high degree of continuous practice, and traditional classrooms may not always provide students with enough opportunities to practice their Japanese. A Phoenix Japanese course can be a great way to get more practice in, converse with other learners at your level of proficiency, and get feedback from an experienced Japanese instructor.
How will a Phoenix Japanese class help me learn?
Although over 127 million people speak Japanese, and Japanese is considered a major world language, it is mostly spoken solely in the archipelago of Japan. Japanese hasn't been used by any other country as an official language since the middle of the 20th century. Little is known about the origins of Japanese, or its connections to other languages, although scholars speculate that it may be related to Korean. Japanese has some unusual grammatical quirks that may make elements of the language seem vague to new learners, such its tense system, which uses past and non-past tenses, meaning that present and future tenses are not differentiated. Additionally, Japanese nouns are not defined as plural or given articles, so you'll have to use context to tell if the Japanese word "hon" means "a book" or "some books," for example. You'll also have to master Japanese sentence structures, which can seem reversed to English speakers, work on your pronunciation, and learn essential vocabulary and phrases.
In a Phoenix Japanese class, you'll be introduced to this material by an expert Japanese teacher in an online classroom. You'll be able to see and speak with your teacher and your classmates, and you'll participate in group discussions and activities. Classes like this have also been shown to help students acquire an understanding of new material, and retain information in the long term. Learning with other students at your skill level can help you build confidence in using your Japanese conversationally, allowing you to explore and get comfortable with Japanese's sometimes confusing grammar, and can expose you to new ways of thinking about Japanese that you may not encounter on your own. If you're an advanced learner, your Japanese teacher may even choose to teach the class entirely in Japanese, so you can experience total immersion in the language. You'll also be able to request one-on-one practice sessions with your instructor, so you can get to grips with difficult material quickly no matter your learning style.
A Phoenix Japanese class can feel just like gathering with a teacher and other students to practice Japanese in person, but an online class has a set of distinct advantages that can help you acquire Japanese proficiency more effectively. First off is the convenience factor. You won't have to worry about adding a new commute to your life, which can save you time and money, and removes barriers to your success in learning a new language. Convenience is definitely nice in any situation, but when learning a language, it may be particularly valuable to you. How regularly you practice your Japanese can be a huge factor in how well you acquire the language, so making sure your class is easily accessible may be a priority. An online class also allows for a wider range of class times to be on offer, so you can find something that fits your day-to-day life, even if you're a Desert Vista High School student who already has a lot of extracurricular activities on your plate, or a busy professional struggling to learn a new language while maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

Jacqueline: Phoenix Japanese course instructor
...When it comes to education, I have experience tutoring young children and teenagers in the past through programs such as the Upward Bound Trio. I believe tutoring allows students to explore the possibilities of a particular subject and when it comes to self-expression and art-making, tutoring can also help young artists discover which artistic path they wish to explore. I am looking forward to helping others pursue their passions and be able to help them...

...students should have the opportunity to receive an excellent education; that every student is capable of succeeding; and that family income should not determine a student's academic success. After my two-year commitment to the corps ended, I moved to Japan and taught English through Phoenix Sister Cities. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with students ranging from preschool to adult. I enjoyed traveling to many of Japan's beautiful cities and neighboring countries...

Sam: Phoenix Japanese course instructor
...my undergraduate years I tutored students for three semesters and saw how I could gently encourage making the subject “one’s own” in a friendly, supportive way. I’m patient and flexible when it comes to changing my approach based on a student’s particular learning needs. Rather than simply showing my method for solutions, I make note of how students tackle problems, and their thinking gives me guidance concerning strategies that will improve on their own methods....
