Japanese Courses for Business in WarwickshirePlease click a title below for further information: 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. New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school.
When you start a Japanese course in Warwickshire, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Japanese. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Japanese to communicate in social and business settings. 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 Warwickshire 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 ManagementEvery SIMON & SIMON Japanese language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual.
At the start of your Japanese language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources. Japanese language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your Japanese language course.
We can arrange your Japanese language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.
Residential full-time Japanese language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you. Warwickshire Japanese Course SchedulesOur Japanese language courses in Warwickshire go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week.
Weekend Courses in Japanese can be arranged on request. Our Japanese courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday.
30 hour per week intensive Japanese courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday. We will tailor your Japanese language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Japanese language course we will assess your goals and level of Japanese experience.
Your desire to learn Japanese may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Japanese to discuss business.
You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Japanese in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills.
No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Japanese trainers experience and that your Japanese language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met. Japanese Language Examination CoursesOur students’ pass rate for Japanese examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Japanese teachers in Warwickshire who have a higher level of experience than average.
SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Japanese examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the 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.

SIMON & SIMON International
Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Japanese Courses Warwickshire 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. Warwickshire is a landlocked non-metropolitan county in the West Midlands region of England. The county town is Warwick, although the largest town is Nuneaton in the far north of the county. The shape of the administrative area Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the historic county. Commonly used abbreviations for the county are Warks or Warwicks.
Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare from Stratford-upon-Avon. Even today, road signs at the county boundary describe Warwickshire as "Shakespeare's County". The county has also produced other literary figures such as George Eliot (from Nuneaton), Rupert Brooke (from Rugby), and Michael Drayton from Hartshill. The poet Philip Larkin lived in Warwick (born in nearby Coventry), and Elizabeth Gaskell went to school in Barford and Stratford.
Warwickshire is bounded to the north-west by the West Midlands metropolitan county and Staffordshire, by Leicestershire to the north-east, Northamptonshire to the east, Worcestershire to the west, Oxfordshire to the south and Gloucestershire to the south-west. The northern tip of the county is only 5 km (3 miles) from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 96 km (60 mi) north to south.
