Our native speaker qualified Japanese language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you. Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening. In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. Course books are provided.
These courses in Japanese are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Japanese to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can 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.
Japanese courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Japanese to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Japanese, as well as survival Japanese should a short stay in the country be needed.
2 or more people can benefit studying Japanese together as these Japanese courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Japanese Course or Small Group In-Company Japanese Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Japanese Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Japanese Testimonials
"I really enjoyed the program of my Japanese course. Eiko was really organized with my lessons and really professional. She has been as pleasant and as reliable as she has been since I started. I wish I can continue with the course, but I will be moving to Taiwan very soon. I really appreciate your help! Best Regards, Johnny,"
Cincinnati
Despite being the home of the Cincinnati Reds and considered to be one of the first purely American cities due to a boomtown legacy of rapid expansion, Cincinnati isn't all about baseball and Americana. Discover for yourself exactly why the unique cultural heritage of Europe-meets-America in Ohio's third largest city is the perfect place for learning a language. In a tribute to Cincinnati's largest ancestral group, the city hosts the largest Oktoberfest in the United States. This event is the most obvious evidence of Cincinnati's German heritage and gives language learners a great chance to practice their German in a welcoming environment! Festivals abound, Cincinnati also holds one of the nation's largest street festivals and longest running culinary arts festival, 'Taste of Cincinnati.' But for international influence on foreign tongues, that's just a mere morsel about Cincinnati!
