I used to live in Japan so I have a pretty good conversation level but still struggle with reading.

I tried many apps but it never really "sticked", especially as you said most are geared towards beginner and it's often a hassle until the app can figure out your actual level.

So I ended up biting the bullet and taking online group lessons. It is much more expensive, but also way better! I finally got back on track and now I feel like I'm progressing.



Online group lessons? I'm intrigued, I've only ever seen 1-on-1 stuff. Does that work like normal classrooms, but on Zoom or whatever? With possible breakouts in smaller groups?

PS: Erwan, is that you?


> Does that work like normal classrooms, but on Zoom or whatever?

Yes. I really prefer group lessons, but in my area there are no group lessons for my level.

> With possible breakouts in smaller groups?

In my class we're only 3 students so no need for breakouts

> PS: Erwan, is that you?

yes :)


I do 1 on 1 lessons for an hour each week via Zoom. Afterwards my brain feels "rearranged" but IMO there is no substitute for it.
