As you seek to study Japanese effectively, Varsity Tutors can set you up with San Diego Japanese lessons. These services can engage a variety of learners at different levels of proficiency. Regardless of your situation or needs, we are here to help you to study effectively.
Japanese has over 125 million speakers. Japan is the only country that regularly uses Japanese, but nevertheless, it is an important and influential language. Learning Japanese gives a person easier access to understanding Japanese philosophy, culture, and history. For students at local schools such as Torrey Pines High School or San Ysidro High School, learning Japanese can be a great way to fulfill graduation requirements related to learning a foreign language. If you attend a college or university like the University of San Diego, you may be taking courses already that allow you to study Japanese language and culture. In a globalized business world, knowing Japanese can increase your career options.
What can I study during San Diego Japanese lessons?
Japanese can be a challenging language for English speakers to learn. Japan and English are not closely related languages, so their script, writing system, and grammar are very different. Japanese characters are very similar to Chinese characters, even though Japanese and Chinese are not related languages. Learning Japanese requires learning thousands of characters, which is quite different than learning the 26 letters of the English alphabet. Learning how to form the characters, and remember their pronunciation and meaning, is a significant barrier to learning Japanese. Japanese grammar also relies significantly more on context than English grammar. While English words indicate the tense of verbs or whether a noun is singular or plural, Japanese rarely makes words plural and only has two verb tenses. Japanese requires that the verb of a sentence goes at the end, but other than that, there are few rules for the order of words in Japanese. These and other differences make learning Japanese quite tricky for English speakers.
When learning a language like Japanese, a formal study environment can help you to make the most of your time. In addition to providing expert help, structured environments can help you study concepts in an effective order. By focusing on foundational concepts first, you are able to build your knowledge off of preexisting knowledge. In addition to helping you develop good study habits, formal language learning can offer you chances to practice speaking Japanese with other people. Conversing in a language requires you to understand the other speaker, decide on your response using the correct vocabulary and grammar, and pronounce words properly. Using all of these skills at once can help you to internalize your knowledge.
