🔥 Why is Japanese so hard and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will require at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ significantly depending on your available level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Japanese instructor?
In language centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with detailed profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like LearnZone.

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.
