Online classes are getting more and more popular. But what is the best online class duration?
We see some language schools offer 3-hour classes in the evening. Most of our online Japanese and Chinese classes are one-hour classes for private lessons and 1.5 hours for small classes.
We found online classes are good for private lessons and small classes. You can save time and money on transportation, petrol and carpark. However, sitting before your computer for too long maybe not be good for your health and your study.
We believe one-hour and 1.5-hour classes are still the best for private lessons and small classes. Any classes over two hours will be too long.
However, for busy people to study online, we are trying 30-minute private Japanese and Chinese classes.
The classes are for private lessons only. You can choose your time whether it be early morning before work or lunch break during work or at night after work.
You can have one class per week, but we recommend two classes per week. If you can spare two x 30 minutes per week to study, you can make very good progress.
For some people, it is also good to have shorter and more frequent classes to enhance their studies.
We have different classes to suit your need.
If you just want to learn Japanese or Chinese for fun, you can try out Talking Japanese or Talking Mandarin Chinese classes. You can learn to talk basic Japanese or Chinese in 10 hours. You will not learn reading and writing, only speaking. This is good if you just want to visit Japan or China.
If you want to learn Japanese or Chinese to improve your language skills for your career, you can choose a Japanese language proficiency preparation class (JLPT) or a Chinese language proficiency preparation class (HSK). Both classes will teach you to learn languages step by step for listening, speaking, reading and writing. You will also get a globally recognised language certificate after you pass the JLPT or HSK tests.
