Japanese Courses for Business in Colchester

SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified native Japanese speaking teachers average 15 years of experience. Professionals and private individuals from all over the UK have benefited from SIMON & SIMON’s Japanese language courses, all of which are tailor-made to reflect each student's level of experience. We consistently receive outstanding feedback from our clients about our Japanese tutors. Each student is sent a specific profile on the experience and background of their Japanese tutor before they start their course of lessons.

The way that modern languages are taught has gone through a revolution in the past few years. If you have only learned languages at school you will find that the experience now is vastly more fun and worthwhile. The Communicative Approach means that your Japanese lessons in Colchester will be almost entirely through the medium of Japanese. You will feel that you are making real progress, even in the first lesson, and will soon communicate in Japanese with confidence, in a range of social and business environments.

Our Japanese language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Japanese training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Japanese in at Colchester on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Japanese Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Japanese language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Japanese course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

SIMON & SIMON Japanese language courses have been arranged for clients in various locations. We have a global network of trainers and wherever you are, we will be able to organise a Japanese language course for you, not only in the UK but in almost any of the major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of our Japanese courses are run at the offices of our clients so that you do not have to travel, but we are happy to arrange Japanese training sessions for you in your home. Full-time Japanese courses can be arranged in a residential setting for you. Our office has information on the locations we offer.

Colchester Japanese Course Schedules

We run Japanese language courses in Colchester all year. Most of our students participate in no less than one 90-minute lesson per week, but many students will participate in more if work commitments allow. Weekend Courses can be facilitated, and our Japanese weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Japanese language courses are also available and can be run at the client’s premises or a residential centre in the UK or overseas. These courses take place over 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 30 hours per week.

Your Japanese language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Japanese language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Japanese conversational skills or have more proficiency in Japanese and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Japanese for negotiations and meetings or focus on gaining better listening, pronunciation and comprehension skills. No matter what your needs, you can be confident that our very experienced Japanese language trainers will work with you on a Japanese language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Japanese Language Examination Courses

Japanese examination preparation for business or other examinations can also be assisted with. Our students boast a 95% rate of passing such examinations, proving the value of our policy of Japanese teachers in Colchester with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Japanese examinations as well as issuing results certificates as a part of our service.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

Japanese is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities. Dozens of dialects are spoken in Japan. The profusion is due to many factors, including the length of time the archipelago has been inhabited, its mountainous island terrain, and Japan's long history of both external and internal isolation. The main distinction in Japanese accents is between Tokyo-type and Kyoto-Osaka-type, though Kyūshū-type dialects form a third, smaller group. Within each type are several subdivisions. Kyoto-Osaka-type dialects are in the central region, with borders roughly formed by Toyama, Kyōto, Hyōgo, and Mie Prefectures; most Shikoku dialects are also that type. The final category of dialects are those that are descended from the Eastern dialect of Old Japanese; these dialects are spoken in Hachijō-jima island and a few others.
