Introduction:

Though a language isolate, Japanese is one of the most widely spoken languages on earth. The advantages of learning a foreign language may have prompted you to learn the not so commonly chosen Japanese. A good institute that offers an excellent course which is directly suitable for your needs is what you need to choose. Along with the institute and many other factors, the fee is also a very important factor that needs to be considered.   

Before we actually talk about what the fees for learning Japanese are, let us first understand the factors that you need to consider.

The first thing you want to consider is whether it is a traditional or an online course that you would like to go with. In both cases along with the course fee, you might have to consider the travel or internet charges.

Long term or short term

Is it a long term course that you want to undertake where your objective is to clear the JLPT test and further move to a Japanese university for higher education or is it a short term course that is intended for specific purposes like travel, communication or business conversations would also make a huge difference in selecting the institute for learning Japanese?

If you choose an online course, are you looking for a group session or would you like to learn individually with the trainer is another major deciding factor that affects the fee.

Your level of learning is another major factor that needs to be considered. Depending on whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level learner the time that you need to spend to achieve the level of proficiency that you intend to would vary and thus would be another important factor in deciding how long your course would be and consequently the fee that you need to pay.

These are some of the factors that can influence the fee that you pay for learning Japanese. However, to be precise, in numbers the fee may vary anywhere from ₹ 5000 to ₹ 100000 in India depending on your level of learning and whether you choose to learn in a group or individually.

Apart from these factors which are related to your personal learning, you also need to take into account the various other factors related to an institute that promises to help you achieve your expected level of proficiency in Japanese.

Do your research to understand the methodology they follow to teach the language.

As the learning need and the learning pace of every individual is different, it is important to see that the trainers are accommodative enough to help you learn at your own pace.

The training material is another important factor to consider. Material that is easily accessible, understandable, and most importantly designed with the student’s needs in mind can make a huge difference in enhancing the learning experience of a student.

Finally, it’s quality over quantity that matters. If you are satisfied with an institute in all areas when it comes to learning Japanese, then paying a fee that is a little higher may not be a concern for you as long as you are able to get the value of every rupee that you spend.
