One-to-one General/Business

Japanese Course in Leicester

Whether you want Japanese lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.

General Japanese courses will cover Survival Japanese, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.

Our Japanese courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Japanese telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.

Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. General courses in Japanese suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Japanese is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Japanese culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

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.
