Japanese Facts

Japan's complex social distinctions are reflected in the language's use of 'honorifics', where special word forms, verb endings, suffixes and vocabulary are used depending on the social status of the people conversing

The subject or object of a sentence in Japanese does not need to be announced if it is clear from the context - this is called being a 'pro-drop' language

Japanese vocabulary is scattered with loan words, mainly from English, Chinese and Dutch

Japanese 1 to 1 Business

These Japanese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Japanese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Japanese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

Japanese 1 to 1 General

This set of Japanese tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Japanese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Japanese: enough Japanese to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Japanese culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Japanese.

Japanese Group Lessons

2 or more people can benefit studying Japanese together as these Japanese courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Japanese Course or Small Group In-Company Japanese Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Japanese Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Albuquerque

With over half a million inhabitants, Albuquerque is the largest city in the state of New Mexico, and the population continues to grow rapidly. While the regional language is English, over 40% of the population of the city is of Latino or Hispanic origin - so if you're desperate to learn Spanish, Albuquerque could well be the perfect setting. Albuquerque is also home to the University of Mexico, and has one of the oldest school districts in the USA.

 

Japanese Testimonials

"I took some Japanese classes back at college but never learned to read and write. I picked up where I left off with my teacher from Listen & Learn and I can now read basic Japanese pretty well - I've got a long way to go is great and lessons are always really helpful."
