Why Study Japanese in Birmingham
Learn Japanese for Work: Are you looking for a job at a Japanese company? The Birmingham Economic Review in May 2017 reported that over the past 5-years 10,000 new jobs were created in Birmingham, demonstrating 50% growth over the same time period, which includes several Japanese companies who base their UK operations in the city and across the Midlands. The industry-leading kitchen and food service equipment manufacturers, Hoshizaki, are based in Telford with 80% of their export products manufactured at the same plant. Toyota has a factory in the East Midlands that has been an instrumental part of manufacturing in the region for the past 25-years. YAZAKI Europe in Coventry is also consistently looking for employees, and even if you do not need to be a Japanese speaker to get a job, speaking Japanese could help with your application and give you the opportunity to rapidly rise through the company. Taking Japanese lessons could also help you to understand the differences in Japanese business etiquette that are indecipherable unless you have an understanding of the language. Japanese corporate structures and systems such as Keiretsu are traditionally used in business, which is important to know if you are looking for work in Japanese firms.
Learn Japanese for Culture: Learning Japanese can also be fun and help you to know more about the Far East and its unique and fascinating culture. Although you won’t find any architectural nods to Japanese culture in Birmingham, there are some clubs and gatherings where you could learn more. The University of Birmingham Guild of Students Group ‘Japan Society’ is a great place to pick up a few language pointers from likeminded individuals and learn more about everything related to Japanese culture such as comics, music, and cuisine.When it comes to Japanese cuisine, there are some restaurants in Birmingham where you can sample some delicious delicacies and get a real taste for the culture. The most popular and highly-recommended Japanese restaurants in Birmingham are Miyako Teppanyaki in the Arcadian Centre, Kyoto Sushi & Grill and Yakinori Noodle & Sushi. If you want to find out more about Japanese cuisine, Birmingham routinely hosts Japanese cooking classes and events such as the ‘How to Make Japanese Food’ event that took place at the LOAF venue on May 2019. The NEC Convention Centre in Birmingham is also home to numerous Japanese events every year. If you want to see Japanese arts and crafts at first hand, the annual Festival of Quilts at the Japanese Pavilion in the NEC usually takes place in August or September.
Learn Japanese for Social: If you want to acclimatise your ear to the language before learning Japanese via private lessons, the Birmingham Japanese Conversation & Culture Group have regular weekly meetups and exchanges. You can meet new people at their events who have a similar interest in Japanese culture and language. If you are a fan of Japanese animation such as Manga and want to meet likeminded people, Tokyo Toys on Corporation Street and the Forbidden Planet Birmingham branch on Bull Street are the ideal places to visit.
