Learn Japanese for FREE at Eton Institute This May 2010

Online, April 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Eton Institute, the region's leading language learning and professional development Institute is offering a free course in beginner level Japanese this May. The popular learning hub that teaches over 100 languages conduct a free language course for the public every month in a featured language as part of their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiative to promote diversity and appreciation for different cultures.

Dr. Eli Abi Rached, Director of Eton Institute commented: "The amazing thing about the Japanese language that makes it so intriguing to learn is how entwined it is with the Japanese culture. If Japanese culture is the fabric, then language is thread that makes it. You cannot wholly understand one without the other. By learning Japanese you not only learn a new language but also gain a whole new perspective."

"Contrary to popular belief," he added: "Japanese is not a difficult language. The script may appear daunting initially only because it is so different from the roman script used by most European languages. The language itself is highly logical which makes it easy to master. Japanese spellings are phonetically consistent making pronunciations straightforward and like English; the language is not tonal which makes speaking and learning considerably uncomplicated. "

Japanese spoken by over 130 million people is a language often termed as being 'critical', that is, the demand for speakers far outstrips the supply. Japan is the second largest economy of the world and the Japanese culture has increasingly become a part of international culture from sushi to origami and manga to karaoke. All these factors have made Japanese a highly sought after language especially in the Middle Eastern region.

The free Japanese course will cover an entire beginner level and will be conducted throughout the month of May. Details about the registration and course dates will be announced only through Eton Institute's Facebook and Twitter pages to their fans and followers. Interested people are encouraged to join Eton Institute on Facebook or Twitter to receive updates about when and how they may enroll for the free course. Visit www.eton.ac for more information.
