When you start learning Japanese, one of the first questions is whether to study in-person or online. Both have advantages, but online lessons offer unique flexibility and possibilities that traditional classrooms cannot match.
Studying face-to-face can feel personal and motivating. However, it often comes with difficulties:
For many learners, especially adults with busy schedules or those living far from major cities, in-person lessons are not always a good option.
Online Japanese lessons remove many of these obstacles. You can:
With online learning, it is easier to find a teacher who specialises in what you want to study. Whether your goal is conversation practice, business Japanese, JLPT exams, or cultural topics, you can find a teacher who meets your needs.
SuikaTalk is a growing online platform that takes a very different approach from many others. On most platforms, almost anyone can become a teacher, or at best, applicants are only asked to submit certificates or proof of qualifications. But having a certificate does not always mean someone is a skilled teacher. Many platforms cannot properly assess who is truly qualified, because their operations are often run by people who are not language educators themselves. Even when Japanese teachers apply, the platform may not have the expertise to evaluate whether they really have the necessary teaching skills. As a result, the quality of teachers can vary widely, and learners sometimes waste time and money on teachers who do not meet their needs.
SuikaTalk is different. It was created by active, professional Japanese teachers, and focuses exclusively on teaching Japanese. All teachers on SuikaTalk must meet strict eligibility criteria before even applying. After that, they go through a highly selective interview process where their teaching skills, language knowledge, and ability to support learners are carefully assessed by experienced Japanese teaching professionals. Only those who pass every stage of this rigorous process become teachers on the platform.
This means that every teacher you meet on SuikaTalk is a true professional, fully qualified to help you reach your Japanese learning goals. You never have to worry about accidentally booking a teacher who lacks real expertise. Your time, effort, and money are always invested in high-quality lessons.
One special feature of SuikaTalk is that every lesson is automatically recorded and made available for you to review for a certain period. This allows you to revisit recent lessons, reinforce what you have learned, and track your progress over time.
Our goal is simple: to become the best place to learn Japanese online, offering high-quality lessons with professional teachers who truly care about your progress.
