One-to-one General/Business

Japanese Course in Glasgow

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

A General course in Japanese will grant you 'Survival Japanese' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Japanese business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.

Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business Japanese course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.

We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Japanese for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Japanese national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

Info about Japanese

Japanese is a tough language for a westerner to pick up, but this is mainly due to the fact that it has several basic differences from most European languages. Once a learner of Japanese has got their head around these distinctions, the language is actually surprisingly logical in the way it works.

Spoken by around 130 million people around the world, Japanese employs 3 different 'alphabets' simultaneously. A single sentence could contain characters from all three writing systems, which can be very confusing for learners as one writing system, Kanji, is entirely non-syllabic - that is to say, you either know the character, its meaning, and how to read it; or you don't. With over 2,000 Kanji characters in daily use (most of which have several readings depending on how they are used), reading and writing Japanese fluently can be something you could study your whole life and never master.

However, even with such difficulties as this and the honorific system (using different words and grammar depending on who you are speaking to), Japanese is an intensely interesting language to learn, and the basics can be picked up with little problem. There are many aspects of the culture in Japan that can only really be gleaned with a working knowledge of the Japanese language.
