Japanese for English Speakers

Course Description

With the advent of globalization, Asian subcontinent has emerged as the center of trade and industries. Japan today is world's fourth-largest exporter and importer. It is also third-largest economy in the world.

Students around the world learn Japanese for business, travel and educational purposes. Spoken by around 130 million people, it is easy to pick the basics but becomes progressively difficult. Here is why Japanese is considered easy to learn:

• No use of articles
• No gender of nouns
• No relative pronouns
• No verb conjugation
• Number (both singular and plural) isn’t important and barely exists
• As there are 48 sounds consisting of 5 vowels and 11 consonants makes it isn’t tonal and easy to pronounce
• Verbs are generally placed at the end of the sentence
