Frequently asked questions about learning Japanese

Do you teach hiragana, katakana, and kanji?

Yes. Your tutor uses kanji suited to your level, mixes in hiragana and katakana, and gives you readings when you need them.

Can I prepare for the JLPT?

You can practice for it. Tell your tutor your target level (N5 to N1) and practice conversations with the vocabulary and grammar of that level.

Will my tutor explain keigo and casual speech?

Yes. Ask about polite, casual and humble forms and your tutor explains them, with examples of what you'd say to a boss and what you'd say to a friend.

Is this useful for travel or living in Japan?

Yes. Your tutor can play out a visa appointment, apartment hunting or ordering at an izakaya.

How does Dia compare to Duolingo for Japanese?

Duolingo is fine for vocabulary review. Dia is built around conversation, so you practice particles and sentence structure by using them.

Choose a tutor, then start talking.

Your tutor answers in Japanese, corrects you gently as you go and switches to your language when you're stuck.
