Japanese Lessons in Vancouver

Our Japanese speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.

Japanese 1 to 1 General

These Japanese lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Japanese by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Japanese to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Japanese culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Japanese exam.

Japanese 1 to 1 Business

Those who would benefit the most from these Japanese tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Japanese to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Japanese, as well as survival Japanese should a visit to the country be necessary.

Japanese Group Lessons

Those wishing to learn Japanese in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Japanese Lessons or Small Group In-Company Japanese Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Japanese proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Japanese Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.

Japanese Testimonials

"I took some Japanese classes back at college but never learned to read and write. I picked up where I left off with my teacher from Listen & Learn and I can now read basic Japanese pretty well - I've got a long way to go is great and lessons are always really helpful."

For Teachers

Vancouver

Time after time regarded as one of North America's most livable cities, Vancouver is an enviable place to launch any sort of studies. Languages in particular are a choice field of study, due to Vancouver's tolerant, inclusive and welcoming approach to multiculturalism in an urban environment. Make that an urbane environment too - for Vancouver is also ranked third in the world after the Swiss cities Zürich and Geneva for the highest quality of life! An open-minded, multilingual and educated attitude amongst Vancouver locals goes hand in hand with an appreciation for the great outdoors. Blessed with close-proximity surf, snow and sun, Vancouver is a great place to get out there and active in those necessary study breaks! Plus, the diversity of available languages in Vancouver is astounding. With approximately half the number of city and metropolitan region residents speaking a first language other than English, there's plenty of opportunity to practice your new language.
