Japanese
Japanese is spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities; mainly in Australia, Brazil, China and the USA. Although the Japanese economy is not growing at the same pace as in the 1980s, it is still the third largest in the world. A working knowledge of Japanese can open up business opportunities, particularly in the technology sector; it will also give you the chance to explore the fascinating Japanese culture.
Studying in Japan is without doubt the best way to live the language at first hand, to practice with native speakers and to get to know not only the language but also the wider culture in which the language is used.
The Japanese courses that Linguapop offer, give you the chance to get to know other cultures and practice what you have learnt in a wide range of everyday situations. This is particularly important for Japanese as it is a relatively difficult language to learn for Europeans. Furthermore, you will get to meet people from all over the world, share experiences and make new friends.
Japan is a country that has a huge influence of the world in the past 50 years. From the most modern technology, to karaoke, video games, cartoons and manga comics, Japan’s contribution to the modern world is evident. The Land of the Rising Sun is a unique experience to visitors where Japanese people are traditional, friendly and welcoming, but at the same time you will feel at the forefront of modern culture.
Linguapop offers students the chance to study Japanese in Kanazawa. Located between the mountains and sea on the West of Japan, Kanazawa is an historic city full of cultural monuments and natural beauty that more recently has become an important student and business city.
