Japanese Courses for Business in WolverhamptonPlease click a title below for further information: Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Japanese Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Japanese speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience.
Our Japanese teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Japanese teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Japanese lessons start.
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 Wolverhampton, 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 Wolverhampton 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 ManagementSIMON & SIMON’s Japanese language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual.
At the start of your Japanese course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources. We have a global network of language trainers so our Japanese language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Japanese language courses for clients in many diverse locations.
Japanese language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.

Wolverhampton Japanese Course SchedulesOur Japanese language courses in Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton 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. Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. In 2004, the local government district had an estimated population of 239,100; the wider Urban Area had a population of 251,462, which makes it the 13th most populous city in England.
Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974, the city is commonly recognised as being named after Lady Wulfrun, who founded the town in 985: its name coming from Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn = "Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm".Alternatively, the city may have earned its original name from Wulfereēantūn = "Wulfhere's high or principal enclosure or farm" after the Mercian King.Nevertheless, the name Wulfrun is commonly used in the city – for example, for the Wulfrun Centre or for Wulfrun Hall.
The city's name is often abbreviated to Wolvo "W'ton" or "Wolves". The city council's motto is "Out of darkness, cometh light". People from Wolverhampton are known as Wulfrunians.
The city grew initially as a market town with specialism within the woollen trade. During and after the Industrial Revolution, the city became a major industrial centre, with mining (mostly coal, limestone and iron ore) as well as production of steel, japanning, locks, motorcycles and cars – including the first vehicle to hold the Land speed record at over 200 mph. Today, the major industries within the city are both engineering based (including a large aerospace industry) and within the service sector.
