Japanese

Japanese is easy!

Japanese is the 9th most spoken language in the world and the 7th most used language on the Internet. It is the only official language, and the only language used, in Japan. Japanese offers many working life opportunities in the fields of culture, science, technology, engineering and tourism.

On the Japanese courses, you will get to know the customs of the Land of the Rising Sun and you will notice how many familiar things come from there. Sushi can taste different!

The Finns learn to speak Japanese quite easily. The sounds are easy, and the grammar is reminiscent of Finnish. Writing is more challenging, but you learn it little by little.

At the moment, we teach Japanese only in Finnish. (See this site in Finnish for details.)
