Learning Japanese with Online Lessons – Skype, Google Hangouts


Are you looking for high-quality online Japanese lessons?  In this blog, we share with you about practicing your Japanese speaking and taking Japanese lessons online.

How to Use Coto Online Japanese Lessons to Learn Japanese Online

Coto Japanese Academy as a language school has been teaching Japanese in Tokyo since 2000.  In Autumn 2019, we have officially launched our system for online lessons.
Our online lessons provide Coto students with two ways to learn.

  • Speaking Sessions
  • Learning Sessions

Online Speaking Sessions – Practice your Japanese Speaking with a Native Japanese speaker

 
Are you looking for a convenient way to practice your Japanese? One of the challenging things about learning Japanese is often finding practice partners to speak with on a regular basis.
Language exchanges are hard to find and usually happen irregularly.  And even if you do attend them, it can be hard to have a fruitful conversation.
Either your level doesn’t match the person you are talking to – or you end up having the same conversation that you always have at a language exchange.

Coto Online speaking sessions are different because:

  • Lead by a native speaker who is trained to facilitate conversations
  • Happen on a 1-1 schedule that matches your availability.

An important part of learning Japanese is being relaxed and having fun during speaking practice.  That’s why at Coto Online – our speaking sessions allow you to schedule at a time that is convenient for you so that you can make the most out of it.
Speaking Sessions are great for people who:

  • Want to practice their Japanese after moving back to their home country
  • Need the flexibility of scheduling for their busy schedule
  • Learn through doing by practicing output and learning new Japanese vocabulary through context.


 

How to schedule a speaking session with Coto Online: 
  1. Register an account at https://online.cotoacademy.com/ (Click signup and fill out the questionnaire)

Online Lessons and Learning Sessions – Learn Japanese through Skype with a Professional Teacher

 
Maybe you are starting from zero and want to find a quality Japanese teacher that can teach you on a regular schedule through skype?
In that case, our Coto Online Learning sessions are perfect for you.
Learning sessions are great for:

  • All levels of Japanese learners from absolute beginner to advanced.
  • Those who would like to learn new vocabulary and grammar and improve their Japanese comprehension.

What lesson materials do you use with Coto Online Learning Sessions?

Coto Online uses our in-house learning materials that focus on teaching practical Japanese for every-day life in Japan and having a real conversation.
You can select from a list of materials that are matched to your level directly on your account page.  These materials can be added to your booked session for the teacher to use and prepare.  You will be asked to select the material while booking the lesson.
