One-to-one General/Business
Japanese Course in Nottingham
It doesn't matter if you want to learn Japanese for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.
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 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.
The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Japanese telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. 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 arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. 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 Nottingham
Centrally located with a city population of just under 300,000 residents, Nottingham is a large, bustling city in the East Midlands. Famous for the origin of the Robin Hood legend, the city is very student-oriented, with both a campus and city university within the urban area. Together, both universities are attended by more than 40,000 students, including a large Chinese contingent.
Nottingham is a cosmopolitan city with large Asian and black communities in both the city and surrounding area; and this multiculturalism continues to expand with further immigration from the Middle East, Africa and Europe - not to mention the myriad of different cultures who come to the city to study. With its internationalism and innumerable foreign students, living in Nottingham alone is almost a first-rate excuse to pick up a new language.

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.

My girlfriend recommended Language Trainers to me, and I thank her for it. My English has improved a lot in just the last two months, and it has made it easier to do my job and also talk to my English friends. I can finally even joke with them about football!
