Japanese Dialects: Regional Differences from Hokkaido to Okinawa

Japan has numerous regional dialects, featuring different pronunciation, intonation, and lots of different vocabulary. Thankfully for students learning Japanese, all Japanese understand hyōjungo, or standard Japanese (which is approximately the spoken language of Tokyo).

If you want to take your Japanese skill to the next level (or perhaps learn a Japanese dialect in depth), we hope you'll consider online Japanese lessons at Nihongo-Pro. Our teachers are professionals, building fully customized private Japanese lessons to help you achieve your Japanese language goal.

Plus, no other online Japanese school can match Nihongo-Pro's value in teachers, lessons, and classrooms. We pay our teachers better, yet charge you less than most online Japanese schools. Our lessons are not just "Japanese chat," but full-fledged lessons customized for you. Our classrooms are second to none, designed exclusively for online Japanese instruction.

We hope to see you soon in an online lesson! In either case, our teachers wish you the best of luck as you learn Japanese.
