Japan is one of the largest and most influential economies in the world, learn the language from scratch or develop your skills on this evening course
Japan is one of the largest and most influential economies in the world. Knowing Japanese can bring you lots of employment and business opportunities. Knowledge of Japanese can equip you with the skills necessary to obtain a job in Japan. It is the language of skilled poets, novelists, painters, and potters. Learn it from scratch or develop your skills on this Languages for All, evening course.
If you wish to know more about the world’s richest, fascinating and ancient culture, and beautiful tradition that brought us manga, animation (anime), computer and video games, fashion, karaoke, karate, sumo, Hello Kitty, electronic revolution and multinational companies, studying Japanese is for you.
Studying Japanese means learning a language so different from English that it will make you rethink your most basic assumptions about the way language works. It means learning to conjugate your verbs simultaneously to tense as well as to politeness. Japanese is extremely easy to pronounce and learning it can be a rewarding and enriching experience that can open a gateway for you to a bright future.
