Japanese Courses for Business in Rotherham

All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Japanese Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Japanese speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience. Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Japanese teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Japanese teacher before they commence their Japanese lessons.

Maybe your only knowledge of studying languages is what you remember from school. Modern language teaching has recently changed to be much more entertaining and rewarding. Your Japanese lessons in Rotherham will be carried out almost completely in Japanese. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson. You will soon feel confident and able to use Japanese to communicate in various business and social situations.

The Japanese courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Japanese training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week. If you require faster progress, 1:1 Japanese courses at Rotherham are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths.

Japanese Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON Japanese language course has a highly experienced, multi-lingual Account Manager who oversees it. When your Japanese course starts you will be sent a profile on your trainer, materials for your course and a Course Plan as well as a Progress Report for every 40 hours of training. Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter that you will also receive, contains a prize draw as well as weblinks to a number of learning resources.

SIMON & SIMON’s Japanese language courses have been run for clients in many different locations. With a global network of language trainers a Japanese language course can be held in almost any major city throughout Europe and elsewhere. We can arrange Japanese language courses in your home or, as many of our clients prefer, in your offices to remove the need for you to travel. Full-time residential Japanese language courses are also an option. For a list of locations, please contact our office.

Rotherham Japanese Course Schedules

We run our Japanese language courses in Rotherham all through the year. Many of our students, if work commitments allow, will attend more than one session weekly, and the vast majority take part in at least one 90-minute lesson weekly. We also arrange weekend Japanese courses on request. Our Japanese programs commence from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday. Intensive 30 hour per week Japanese language courses, held on clients’ premises or at residential centres in the UK or abroad, are also available on a 6 hours per day basis, Monday through Friday.

Whatever your personal level of experience and future goals, your Japanese course will be customised for you. Before you start the course we will assess your level of Japanese and discuss in detail what you would like to focus on. You may desire simply to gain everyday Japanese skills from the level of a complete beginner, or you may have more experience in Japanese and want to improve your ability to discuss banking, finance or marketing. You may want to develop improved pronunciation and comprehension skills or improve your Japanese for use in negotiations and meetings. Whatever your goals and needs, our highly experienced Japanese language trainers will tailor your Japanese course so that your goals will be met quickly.

Japanese Language Examination Courses

If you are taking a Japanese examination, for business or other reasons, we are happy to help you with your preparations. We are very proud of the 95% pass rate of our students in language examinations. We believe this highlights the value of working with Japanese teachers in Rotherham whose experience is above average. SIMON & SIMON can also register you for your Japanese examination, administer the examination and issue you your results.

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.

Rotherham is a town in South Yorkshire, England. It lies on the River Don, at its confluence with the River Rother, between Sheffield and Doncaster. Rotherham, at 6 miles (10 km) from Sheffield City Centre, is surrounded by several smaller settlements, which together form the wider Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. According to the 2001 Census the population of Rotherham is 117,262. There were Iron Age and Roman settlements in the area covered by the town but Rotherham was not founded until the early Middle Ages. It established itself as a key Saxon market town, lying on a Roman road near a forded part of the River Don. By the late Saxon period, Rotherham was at the centre of a large parish on both sides of the River Don. Following the Norman Conquest, an absentee lord, Nigel Fossard, was put in place. His successors the De Vescis rarely visited the town and did not build a castle or contribute to the town's civic life, but maintained a Friday market and a fair. In the mid 13th century, John de Vesci and Ralph de Tili gave all their possessions in Rotherham to Rufford Abbey. The monks collected tithes from the town and gained rights to an additional market day on Monday and to extend the annual fair from two to three days.
