Private Spanish classes in Manchester and online
Also in South Birmingham
Fancy learning Japanese too?
We've been teaching Spanish since 2012. Now we've started a sister school for Japanese lessons, called Japanese Koya. Koya (小屋) is Japanese for "shack".
It works the same way as our Spanish classes: live 1-to-1 lessons with a native teacher, the same teacher every week, at your home in Manchester or South Birmingham, or online.
What learning Spanish gives you
Japanese is a much bigger challenge than Spanish. It has new writing systems, very different grammar and almost no vocabulary in common with English or Spanish. Speaking Spanish won't give you a head start on the language itself, but having learnt it will still help.
You know what it takes
Regular lessons, practising out loud and plenty of patience. You've already built the habits that learning a language needs, and you'll rely on them even more for Japanese.
You know how languages work
A new language is more than new words. Verbs change form, word order shifts, polite and casual speech differ, and some things don't translate directly. Japanese does all of this very differently from Spanish, but none of the ideas will be new to you.
You know how our lessons work
Japanese Koya teaches the way we do: 1-to-1 with a native teacher, the same teacher every week, at your home or online. There's no new way of learning to get used to.
Free resources to get started
Want to try before you book? Japanese Koya has free guides you can use on your own:
- Hiragana chart: every character with its pronunciation, the best place to start
- Japanese verbs: how conjugation works, with a verb conjugator
