Japanese: language courses for all levels
Questions and answers
What do you learn in a Japanese course for beginners?
In a Japanese course for beginners, participants first familiarize themselves with the spoken language, its sound and pronunciation. They learn everyday expressions and simple sentences, how to introduce themselves and answer questions about themselves, such as where they live, what they do for a living and what their family is like.
In a beginners' course, course participants also learn to ask such personal questions to others and to understand the answers when someone speaks to them slowly and clearly.
In addition to listening and speaking comprehension, they are also introduced to Japanese characters and gain an insight into the country's culture. Depending on the language school, they will also be taught other skills, such as how to write short messages, for example an email, or how to fill out forms, for example in a hotel.
Please note: The exact course content is compiled by the schools themselves. You can therefore enquire directly with the individual language schools about the detailed learning objectives and content of a Japanese language course - simply use our contact form.
Are there also compact courses for Japanese?
Are leisure activities included in a language study trip to Japan?
Can I test a Japanese course free of charge first?
Some language schools offer fixed dates at which prospective students can gain an insight into the Japanese language and take part in a trial lesson free of charge.
Simply ask the relevant schools when these dates are and, if you don't have time on that day, whether you could alternatively try out another Japanese course. Because people like to get an overview of how a language course works and want to find out whether this language is actually suitable for them.
Questions are free of charge and can be easily answered using our contact form.
Is Japanese difficult to learn?
Unlike Italian or French, Japanese is not an Indo-European language and is therefore not related to our German or Swiss-German mother tongue. It can therefore be said that this foreign language is not too easy to learn, partly because it has a very complex writing system that is a mixture of different syllabic scripts and Chinese characters. Nevertheless, it is quite possible for motivated language enthusiasts to quickly achieve initial success in learning Japanese, especially with a professional and native-speaking teacher.
