Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about lessons, booking, and self-study. If you cannot find what you need, message me on Telegram.
How do private lessons work?
Lessons take place online, one-to-one. We work on grammar, pronunciation, reading, and conversation, with materials and pace tailored to your goals and level.
Can I start learning Japanese from scratch?
Yes. You can start with the basics: hiragana, katakana, essential vocabulary, and simple sentences. Free hiragana and katakana video lessons are also available on the website.
How long is a lesson, and how much does it cost?
A private Japanese lesson lasts 50 minutes and costs RUB 1,300. A personal consultation also lasts 50 minutes and costs RUB 1,300.
What can we discuss during a personal consultation?
We can discuss studying, daily life, work, adapting to Japan, moving to Japan, and other practical questions about the country. This is not a legal or immigration service.
How do I book a lesson or consultation?
Choose the format you want on the booking page, then select an available date and time in the Calendly calendar. In the form’s message field, specify whether you are booking a Japanese lesson or a personal consultation.
Which time zone should I use when booking?
Check the time zone shown below the Calendly calendar and make sure it matches your local time.
Do I need to turn on my camera?
No, your camera is not required. The important thing is that you feel comfortable taking part in the lesson and conversation practice.
Can I cancel or reschedule a lesson?
You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before the lesson. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are charged at the full lesson price.
Are there self-study materials on the website?
Yes. The website offers free hiragana and katakana video lessons, an interactive N5 lesson, and N5, N4, and N3 placement tests. More interactive lessons will be added over time.
