More than 130 million people speak Japanese in the world, according to Ethnologue, making it one of the top ten most-spoken languages in the world. Of these speakers, 50,000 live in Canada, and 56% of the Japanese community live in Vancouver, which amounts to 27,000 people of Japanese origin living in the city. With its peaceful gardens, blossoming cherry trees and abundance of classic and contemporary traditional restaurants, Vancouver incorporates authentic Japanese culture into the local lifestyle. Learning this ancient language, then, will allow you to enjoy unique customs, cuisine and cultural events around the city on a whole different level. Immerse yourself in the cultural heritage of Vancouver’s Japanese-Canadian population and integrate with this community more smoothly by taking Japanese classes with us at Language Trainers! Our lessons are tailored to your skills and schedule, so contact us today and we will start designing an appropriate language course for you!

Why Study Japanese in Vancouver

Learn Japanese for Social: If you are looking to make new friends using your newly-acquired Japanese, you can join the Japanese Meetup, a group that aims to share Japanese culture, food and music while people meet in a friendly environment. You can also take your new friends to one of the many sushi and izakaya-style restaurants in the city. For example, you can go to Tojo’s on Broadway Street or Minami on Mainland Street to sample the chefs’ daily choices of fresh sashimi and expertly crafted specialties. And if you prefer a more natural location, you can visit the Nitobe Memorial Garden (named for the renowned agriculturist and educator, Dr. Inazo Nitobe), home to carefully manicured greenery, cherry blossoms, waterfalls and Asian sculptures. Attend a traditional tea ceremony in the garden’s Ichibo-an, and feel as if you were in the heart of Japan without ever leaving Vancouver!

Learn Japanese for Culture: There are many instances where you can experience Japanese culture around Vancouver. For example, to celebrate the spring with the annual Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, which includes a lineup of events and activities that pay homage to Japanese culture, such as tea ceremonies, kimono demonstrations, geisha dancing and taiko drumming. Impress the attendees with your Japanese! You can also enjoy the Powell Street Festival, the largest celebration of Japanese-Canadian heritage in Vancouver. Every July, it takes place at Oppenheimer Park and features visual arts, dance, music, martial arts and films screened in Japanese. Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy these movies in their original language and put your new language skills into play!

Learn Japanese for Work: If you are actively job-seeking, you will be glad to know that many companies of Japanese origin are always looking to hire bilingual speakers in Vancouver. Some of these companies include Listel, Pacific Coach Lines and AvCorp Institutes, and learning Japanese can help you stand out when applying for a position at any of them. And if you are looking to network with Japanese businesses, you should get in contact with the Japan-Canada Chamber of Commerce on Georgia Street. Established in 2003, the mission of this institution is to facilitate and promote business relations between Japanese and Canadian companies. For that to happen, it organizes various workshops, trade shows and seminars where you will be able to network with Japanese entrepreneurs and businesses. Take advantage of these opportunities and impress them with your flawless pronunciation!
