Japanese Facts
Dozens of dialects are used in Japan, due to many factors, but mainly the time that the island has been inhabited and the fact that Japan has a long history of both external and internal isolation
Japanese is a 'pro-drop' language, meaning the subject or object of a sentence does not need to be stated if it is obvious from context
The Japanese language lack a few letter sounds that most western languages take for granted: for example, in Japanese there is no 'l' sound (their 'r' sound is used instead), and no 'v' ('b' replaces it)

These courses in Japanese are meant for those that feel that learning Japanese would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Japanese and e-mail Japanese skills for communicating, as well as survival Japanese if a short visit to the country is needed.

Exeter
A sizeable city found in the county town of Devon, Exeter is situated on the River Exe and has a population of around 115,000. Originally Exeter developed as an administrative centre and a port city, as it was founded on the lowest bridging point of the River Exe. Much of the city centre was decimated by the German Luftwaffe in the Second World War, prompting major reconstruction in the 1950s, replacing many historic buildings. As such, while Exeter was previously regarded as second only to Bath for architectural study, Exeter is not dominated by its tourist trade.
