Japan is one of Singapore’s largest economic partners, and many Japanese companies operate regional headquarters here. Interest in Japanese language and culture is often connected to wider engagement with East Asia, and learners interested in Japanese media, travel, and culture sometimes also explore Korean as part of that regional interest.
Learning Japanese can help you:
communicate more effectively with Japanese colleagues and partners
build stronger relationships in Japanese business environments
navigate everyday situations while travelling or relocating to Japan
understand Japanese films, media, and popular culture more naturally
For professionals working with Japanese companies, Japanese language skills can provide a clear advantage.
Our Japanese courses are designed for learners in Singapore who work with Japanese companies or plan to live or spend time in Japan.
Typical learners include:
professionals working with Japanese partners or regional offices
employees in companies with Japanese headquarters
individuals relocating to Japan for work or study
learners interested in understanding Japanese media and culture
Lessons focus on practical communication used in both professional environments and everyday life in Japan.
Japanese is spoken by around 125 million people, almost all of whom live in Japan. Despite the country’s global economic influence, Japanese is relatively concentrated geographically compared with many other major languages.
Japanese grammar differs significantly from most European languages. Sentences often follow a subject–object–verb order, meaning the verb usually appears at the end of the sentence.
Japanese also includes a sophisticated system of politeness levels, where speakers adjust vocabulary and grammar depending on social relationships, formality, and professional context.
Our Japanese courses follow the internationally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), but we describe them in practical terms so you can easily find the right starting point.

Japanese uses three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Beginner courses usually introduce these gradually alongside speaking and listening skills.
Private courses can focus more on converstaional Japanese if needed.
If you are unsure about your CEFR level, we recommend taking a placement assessment to ensure you get the most from your Japanese course. The assessment fee can be deducted from your course cost.

I recently completed a French course with Lingua Learn, and it was a great experience. It was well structured, the materials were engaging, I really enjoyed the course. I recommend it.
For years I’ve been looking unsuccessfully for good and affordable German classes for my kids. I am so happy that I learned about Lingua Learn a few months ago. My kids love the classes. The team is very supportive and the prices are very reasonable. Above all, as a working mom, I don’t have to worry about transportation, since classes are online. Thank you very much team Lingua Learn for an outstanding service.
I highly enjoyed the Spanish course with Susana. She was able to change topics each lesson while still providing grammatical exercises. I learned a lot. Can’t wait to continue and improve my level!
I recently completed my Italian A1.1 course and had a fantastic experience! The course was engaging and well-structured, offering a great balance between grammar, vocabulary, and practical conversation skills. One of the highlights was our instructor, Ruben, who made the learning process both enjoyable and insightful. His sense of humor and real-life experiences made each class lively and relatable, keeping us motivated throughout the course.
I kept putting off learning Arabic as I found it hard but with Ms. Shaimaa the classes were interactive and fun. We got to practice a lot in class. I am starting my next level soon so I am excited to learn more and start finally having conversations in Arabic with my friends. Thank you, Shaimaa and Lingua Learn!
