Japanese Facts

Japan is spoken by over 130 million people worldwide, but primarily in Japan

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)

Subject, object and other grammatical relations are usually marked by 'particles', which are short words (usually only one or two syllables) attached to the words that they modify

Japanese 1 to 1 Business

Those who would benefit the most from these Japanese tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Japanese to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Japanese, as well as survival Japanese should a visit to the country be necessary.

Japanese 1 to 1 General

These Japanese lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Japanese by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Japanese to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Japanese culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Japanese exam.

Manchester

A sizeable city in north west England, Manchester has a population of around 450,000. It is historically noteworthy as one of the world's first industrialised cities, and for the central role it played during the Industrial Revolution, being as it was the international hub for textile manufacture and cotton spinning (nicknamed Cottonopolis during the 19th century). Today Manchester is a focal point of media, the arts, higher education and commerce; it is the third most-visited city by foreigners in the UK and a major retail centre, with two major shopping malls and several smaller shopping centres in the city centre. Manchester is also known for its venues, the prowess of its sporting clubs, musical heritage, museums, and art galleries.
