If you're learning Japanese and needs extra help or simply want to get started learning the language, all you need to do is call Varsity Tutors so we can get you into a Philadelphia Japanese course best suited to your needs and goals. Japanese is one of the major languages of the world and is spoken by more than 125 million people around the world. Although it is not one of the more commonly studied languages in the United States, knowing the Japanese language can be very beneficial.
If you have big career aspirations, being fluent in Japanese can be an invaluable advantage. Many companies, especially international ones, are looking for applicants who are bilingual, and fluency in Japanese isn't a skill many people can boast. Having this skill can open up opportunities for lucrative jobs in other countries. Knowing Japanese can also be beneficial for anyone who wants to travel, especially if visiting the Japanese archipelago is on your bucket list.
Many area academic institutions such as Northeast High School or Central High School require students to take a foreign language course. Students in colleges or universities such as the University of Pennsylvania may also be required to earn language credits depending on your particular degree program. Taking a supplemental Philadelphia Japanese class can help you with extra practice opportunities as you work towards understanding the Japanese language for a school requirement.
What can I learn in a Philadelphia Japanese course?
Japanese can be a complex language to learn, particularly for those who grew up speaking an Indo-European language such as English.
The sentence structure in Japanese may be unfamiliar to non-native speakers. In English, sentence structure generally goes "subject-verb-object" or "she eats cake." In Japanese, the verb goes at the end of a sentence. So in Japanese, the proper order of the above sentence would be "She cake eats." Practicing sentence construction under the supervision of a fluent Japanese-speaker can help you improve your skills.
Another unfamiliar concept to you may be how verbs are conjugated. In Japanese, there are only two verb tenses: past and non-past. Both present and future tense are considered non-past and are conjugated the same way. A Japanese course can help you identify the correct conjugations for the message you want to convey.
You can also spend time working on your speaking and listening skills with a knowledgeable instructor teaching your course. Practicing your conversational skills with your instructor or classmates can greatly improve your speaking and listening abilities. You can also work on writing, reading, and memorizing Japanese. All of these skills be important if you want to work towards being fluent in this language.
