Private Lessons in Japanese

Have you ever been to Japan, and want to keep up the language? How about you’ve always had an interest in learning Japanese, but didn’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve used language software or done Japanese group classes in the past, but never had the direction nor attention to develop your language skills fully?
Hills Learning offers private language lessons in Japanese for all skill levels, and all ages. Our SWIRL curriculum focuses on developing at least three of the five language skills per class. Our main goal for Japanese private lessons is to develop conversational skills, but we also specialize in test prep, cultural etiquette, or just general language acquisition. And of course, we can meet student’s individual goals and requirements.
With this basic framework, each teacher creates and develops her own teaching materials based on student needs and goals. All teachers undergo a thorough review and testing process, and also must follow guidelines and best practices from Hills Learning when creating teaching materials.
Language Resources for Japanese
Are you interested in learning the Japanese language? We have multiple articles that talk about how to learn Japanese, the first few articles discuss the intricacies of the alphabet Hiragana. To Learn Japanese in New York please visit this series of articles, that teaches about the Hiragana alphabet, the foundation for any Japanese language learner.
As some beginners might have heard, there are actually three alphabets for learning Japanese, Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana. The article Learn Japanese NYC talks about the differences between the three Japanese alphabets, and is encouraging to students who feel that learning Japanese and the alphabets might be too difficult.
For travelers to Japan, a very common situation they run into is calling a cab in Japanese. For any Japanese student, including students who are enrolled in our Japanese Classes, it is helpful to know the attached phrases. Please visit our calling a cab in Japanese article.
Another useful article written our website for the more intermediate speaker of Japanese is how to get a reservation and hotel Japanese. Learning Japanese in New York City is fun, but being able to apply it to real world travels within Japan is necessary for any serious learner of the Japanese language.
