Italki experiences? (lemmy.world)

Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

I'm considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

I've lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

I'm hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

I don't need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

Please let me know your experiences.

Have been on italki for two years. My teacher uses tprs and I've found it very valuable. It gives me a great opportunity to catch new things and explore nuances.

As an example, the other day we came across そっくり and used it as an opportunity to explore when to use that or -よう or -見たい.

Its also nice to be able to try out constgucts that seem correct from immersion, but end up sounding weird
