Programme information
Japan is one of the most influential economies in the world and many major British and European companies have offices there. It may be very different from European languages but, in some ways, it's a lot simpler to learn. Not only does this language open the doors to a culture that created manga, anime, karaoke and karate, but it also exposes you to the rich cultural history of this beautiful country.
We offer Japanese classes at most Common European Framework levels, starting from A1.1 (suitable for complete beginners), all the way to B2+, which offers students a very good knowledge of complex grammatical structures and wide-ranging vocabulary. Classes are taught by qualified native speakers, with a focus on communicative learning, to help you achieve fluency in the language of your choice.
Classes are small (6-15 students) and present the perfect opportunity for you to interact in a multicultural, dynamic environment. With support from our expert teachers, they'll help to build your confidence, improve your pronunciation and increase your oral and written skills.
We offer different levels in different terms – please refer to the Structure tab above for more information.
