Skype Japanese lessons

You don't need much to learn Japanese with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Japanese.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your Japanese tutor after your first class.

We are committed to helping individuals achieve success in official Japanese language proficiency exams by connecting them with expert native teachers. Our approach is tailored to each student's needs, leveraging cutting-edge video conferencing technology for immersive, real-time lessons in Japanese. Our native instructors bring a deep understanding of the language's nuances and the specific requirements of proficiency exams, providing comprehensive guidance in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Our focused approach addresses the most challenging aspects of the exams. Whether you're preparing for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) or other recognized certification exams, our teachers develop customized lesson plans that align with the unique formats and expectations of each test. Students engage in thorough grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice exams that replicate real test conditions. Additionally, our instructors offer insights into cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions, ensuring students are not only ready to excel in their exams but also able to communicate confidently in Japanese.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Japanese takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Japanese classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
