One-to-one General/Business
Japanese Course in Liverpool
If you want to be taught Japanese for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.
General and Business courses in Japanese differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.
It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in Japanese, as well as using the telephone. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
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. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Japanese language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Japanese exam.

City information
A core city of the UK, famed for many great exports - and not just the exports that have been sent out of the city's famous docks for hundreds of years. As the source of the Beatles and many other musicians of great worth, Liverpool is immensely proud of its role as a driving force of UK culture; and in fact was named European City of Culture for 2008.
With around 450,000 residents in the borough and city, and a further 820,000 in the urban area, Liverpool is a sprawling post-industrial metropolis, and thanks to its sea trade has always attracted plenty of overseas visitors and immigrants, all of which help give those living in the city a fantastic scope for picking up a new language. Almost every European language can be heard around Liverpool, and there are many Chinese and south Asian communities dotted around the city.
Language information
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.

After finding out that I'd been accepted into a student exchange program in Germany, I figured I'd better learn enough of the language to get by. The Language Trainers classes fit around my uni schedule, and I learned as much about the culture as I did about how to speak German. I'm now in the third week of the program, and am even relaxed enough to have organised my first date!
