I know that you’re serious about learning Japanese because you’re HERE! You clicked through and now you’re wondering: WHAT’S NEXT?
If you have…
… Spent the last year (or two) playing language games on apps and feel you still don’t know how to speak Japanese.
… Felt embarrassed to practice your Japanese in public speaking to native speakers.
… Tried to use the Japanese you THOUGHT you learned only to realize you only learned a few words of vocabulary.
… Decided to learn Japanese to better your career.
Then you are in the right place and the Japanese by-the-hour is the right program.
Because learning to speak Japanese should be fun & enjoyable…
The fastest path to speaking Japanese confidently is when you get a chance to speak it everyday with other people. Not to mention it’s WAY more fun than trying to repeat a sentence in your phone to get a badge.
Imagine what it will feel like when you’re in a LIVE class, with a professionally trained teacher who is ALSO a native Japanese speaker, having a conversation in a safe environment.

Individualized Lessons
The individualized lessons meant I was progressing at the pace that was right for me. The combination of in-class verbal exercises and casual conversation, along with the assigned written homework provided a varied learning experience and kept things from becoming repetitive.

Live lingua has been an amazing...
Live lingua has been an amazing experience. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They listen to exactly what I want to practice and learn and create unique and useful activities that help me learn and acquire the language. I purchased the three month unlimited package. It is worth it! If you are able to, do it! Every day I practice for an hour and each time I practice, I can tell I am learning more and more. The set up of live lingua is easy to use and making appointments or conversing with teachers is a breeze. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn a new language to try live lingua. You will not be disappointed.

Spanish language instruction with Live Lingua is well worth it
I have been very pleased with my experience learning Spanish in a 1/1 environment with Live Lingua. My Live Lingua customer ID is --- and now have about 20 hours of 1/1 instruction from two very good instructors. My instructors are well educated native Spanish teachers and they are really focused on discovering how I learn and challenging me to learn by speaking Spanish in each class. As seasoned language instructors, both schooled in Mexico, they have a plan to grow my Spanish language skills and they do not hesitate to provide good feedback on sentence structure and pronunciation. The 1 hour classes start on time and before you know it, the hour is over. With 1/1 instruction you have the opportunity to ask real life questions and focus on topics that are important to you. This has been an ideal language learning experience for me.

About Live Lingua
How did a Peace Corps volunteer, a teacher, and a black lab successfully break down cultural barriers?
When Ray Blakney, a U.S. Peace Corp volunteer stationed in Mexico, met, and married his wife Laura, a local Spanish teacher, they recognized how learning a new language changed their lives. They wanted to help others build meaningful connections as well, by breaking down those cultural barriers.
Ray, Laura, and their black lab Frida opened a chain of successful brick and mortar language schools in Mexico. In 2010, they decided to bring the language immersion experience into everybody’s home! So, they sold their schools and made their courses available online.
That’s when Live Lingua was born!
Live Lingua was created so that anyone, from anywhere in the world, could get access to first-class language lessons, without being held back by financial limitations. That’s why we keep our pricing reasonable and deliver an immersion experience for you!
