If you're currently looking for a New York City Japanese course, Varsity Tutors is here to get you signed up for top-notch Japanese language learning opportunities. Japanese is one of the major languages of the world and is spoken by over 125 million people. Mainly used on the Japanese archipelago, Japan has been the only country to use it as a first language since the mid-20th century. Written records of the language date back to the 8th century, but not much is known about its prehistory or when it first started being used in Japan.
Learning a new language is often required at the high school or college level in order to graduate. Japanese can be a fun but difficult language to learn. If you're a student at an academic institution such as Fort Hamilton High School or Forest Hills High School, you may want extra help with some of the basic concepts. Students at a higher level, such as those attending a school like New York University, may need help with the more advanced concepts found in their coursework.
There are other reasons one might want to learn Japanese. Japanese is not one of the more commonly studied languages in school, so having the ability to speak it fluently can make you a valuable asset to potential employers. For example, if you want to work for an international company, being able to speak Japanese fluently can open up opportunities for you to be an asset with business partners overseas.
Perhaps you enjoy traveling, and visiting Japan is on your bucket list. Being able to carry on even a basic conversation can improve your travel experience. It'll help with navigation and help you more fully appreciate the culture of the people around you.
No matter what your motivation for learning Japanese is, Varsity Tutors is here to support you as you reach for your goals by enrolling you in an exceptional New York City Japanese course.
What skills and material can a New York City Japanese class help me better understand?
Learning a new language can be a rewarding but challenging task. Japanese has some rules that can be unfamiliar to non-native speakers. For example, the sentence structure can be quite different from English and other Indo-European languages. In Japanese, the only strict rule about word order is that the verb must go at the end of the sentence. Instead of saying something like "I like candy," you would say "I candy like."
Another unfamiliar concept is the fact that nouns don't change to relate to a number, gender, or article. The same word can either be plural or singular. Quantity is shown with a counter word. An English example of this is the word "sheep." You only know if there is one sheep or twenty sheep based on the word next to it.
You can also work on verb conjugation, pronunciation, listening, writing, and reading Japanese in your course.
What are the benefits of taking a New York City Japanese course?
Taking one of our online New York City Japanese classes provides the opportunity for many benefits. Our classes are accessed using a unique online learning platform. Being able to access a class from a computer brings instruction to your favorite study space as long as you have wifi. This means you can log into your course from the library, your favorite cafe, or the comfort of your own home. The platform also allows you to interact with your teacher. You can see, hear, and speak to your instructor just like you would be able to in a traditional classroom, allowing you to ask questions in real time and receive an immediate response.
You can also participate in class activities and discussions with your peers. You'll be able to engage in discussions about Japanese grammar, syntax, and pronunciation. These types of collaborative activities can help with memory retention and make learning more engaging. Additionally, if you ever need clarification on a specific topic or skill, you can set up a one-on-one appointment with the instructor to ask questions. We have a meticulous vetting process for teachers, so you can be confident you're receiving instruction experts with good communication skills.
How do I get enrolled in a New York City Japanese class?
When you're ready to take your skills to the next level, all you have to do is call Varsity Tutors. One of our educational consultants will take the time to discern your timeline and educational needs. You'll then need to choose between taking a 2-week or 4-week session.
