About the Course
Japanese is the ninth most widely spoken language in the world, but it is not one of the six official languages of the United Nations. It is estimated that nearly 10% of all internet users are Japanese, with Japan boasting one of the highest literacy rates in the world at over 99%.
There are a number of immigrant communities around the world who speak this language due to the historical migration of emigrants to South Korea,
Taiwan, parts of China, the Philippines, Brazil (which boasts the largest expatriate Japanese population with 1.5 million speakers), Peru, Argentina, Australia, Canada (Vancouver) and the USA (California and Hawaii).
There are also about 2.5 million people of Japanese descent, many of whom speak Japanese as their first language, living in Brazil and the rest of the Americas, especially the United States.
You will also find a significant expatriate presence in major cities such as London, New York and Paris.
The range is huge. There are opportunities in travel and tourism, export houses, trade, commerce, industrial houses, embassies and diplomatic missions for language professionals
