All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Japanese to get them through a short visit to the country. Those who choose to continue with the lessons will progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Japanese history and culture or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Japanese, this is the choice for you.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Japanese
These Japanese Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Japanese to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette; at higher levels, reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even in our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic telephone Japanese and Japanese e-mail skills for communication as well as survival Japanese required for short visits to a country.
