How to find someone to teach Japanese?

I'm trying to learn japanese language but teaching Myself by internet isn't easy besides the internet Is only teaching me how to speak and I want to learn how to read and write it to than I want to learn there customs.

There are loads of programs where you meet with someone who speaks a language different than you and you teach each other. One of my coworkers used this program to learn spanish. Idk the name tho

If you have the money to spare, I highly recommend Rosetta Stone. It is very good and has breakpoints where you meet with coaches online.

Ive heard rosetta stone is the worst when it comes to jap, but idk. Definitely helps to speak to people living there tho.

i bought some books for studying, id recommend learning hiragana/katakana first before learning the language itself, because you learn the language as well I'm using this book for pure hiragana/katakana https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Japanese-Hiragana-Katakana-Self-Study/dp/4805312270/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=learning+hiragana&qid=1628207472&sr=8-3 and this one for grammar and vocabulary https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Zero-Techniques-Students-Professionals/dp/0976998122/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=japanese+from+zero&qid=1628207647&sr=8-1 it really helps if you have a friend as well to study with, so you can quiz each other. ganbatte!

The Genki I and Genki II books are pretty much the de facto standard for teaching introductory Japanese to English speakers in a classroom setting. If you learn well from books and are self-motivated they can work for self-study as well. As lamby said learning hiragana first will give some foundation to learning the language.

Everyone pretty much said what is good in terms of learning written language. The Genki books are fantastic. The only other books I could recommend are Minna no Nihongo. A friend of mine living in Japan introduced me to them. I will reiterate that Rosetta Stone is not worth it nor is Duolingo. Both are not that great for Japanese. After mastering hiragana and katakana, one thing I can recommend is using the Pimsler course. It is expensive but effective. It will help you get a basic understanding of the spoken language thus making it easier to learn fluency from there. Those are my two cents and I hope that is helpful. Edit I forgot to add how I learned hiragana and katakana lol Completely free resources actually. http://japanese-lesson.com/ This website is a great resource for learning hiragana and katakana. While going through those courses I also watch the Japanesepod101 hiragana and katakana videos as I tackled each group of characters. another great resource is Tae Kim's free course. http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/

As for cultural things that will be a bit hard. I suppose watch a ton of YouTube videos about the culture helps along with reading about whatever you can in relation to that. That’s what I have been doing anyways.
