Professional Business Japanese & General Japanese Courses

Specialised Japanese Language Training for the Workplace and Everyday Life

At Babel, we recognise that learners study Japanese for many different reasons, from advancing their careers to enriching their personal lives. That’s why we offer two flexible pathways: Business Japanese and General Japanese.

Business Japanese focuses on developing the communication skills needed to operate confidently in professional environments. You’ll learn to write polished business emails, participate effectively in meetings, deliver clear presentations, negotiate successfully and build strong relationships with Japanese colleagues or clients. Alongside the language, the course introduces the subtleties of Japanese corporate etiquette, hierarchy and communication style.

General Japanese, meanwhile, is designed for learners who want to use the language in everyday life. You’ll practise real-world communication through listening, speaking, reading and writing, while gaining the confidence to handle situations such as social interactions, travel and day-to-day exchanges.

Whichever track you choose, you’ll receive a personalised learning experience that makes studying Japanese engaging, relevant and goal-oriented.
