Learning English

Singapore is an important place for learning English. It can be seen simply from he enormous amount of language schools that teach English. I would say that the English language courses in Singapore can be broken down in two categories:

1. The group that needs it to work or study in Singapore. In my eyes, this is by far the largest group. Think of this group as people from Asia (Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea) who either have the ambition to work in Singapore or who want their children to be confident in English - knowing that Singapore is a more conducive environment to learn English than their home country, if only because there is the 'must' factor. They may arrive with little English skills, but a whole group of schools offers courses to get them up to speed quickly.

2. The second group of people learning English in Singapore is the group that already speaks English pretty well and just wants to improve their articulation, vocabulary, writing or presentation skills. If you belong to this group, be extra critical as to where you follow your course. If you are looking to sign up for an English course in Singapore, consider Hanbridge. They have general English courses as well as IELTS preparation courses and are accredited by IEERA, the International English Education and Research Association.

Progress comes with ease when you learn Japanese with us. With our scientific program of teaching (Japan Patent No. 1780123) you will be able to speak basic Japanese in 20-25% of the time taken by traditional methods. We are the only MOE registered language school in Singapore using this method. So where is our teaching method different from other Japanese schools in Singapore? Difference # 1: We teach the conjugation of verbs first Conjugating verbs is a very important part of speaking Japanese well. After lengthy research, we found that it is best to teach the verb conjugations early in the early stages of our Japanese courses. That way, you will be able to master most of the daily expressions quickly, without having to memorize too many of phrases. Difference # 2: Teaching pace In the beginning of your Japanese study, you are motivated and want to learn quickly. While most language schools start off slowly, we take advantage of the early motivation to get off to a quick start. Our materials are designed to make the most out of your mood and capability in each part of the process of learning Japanese. Difference # 3: We explain Japanese grammar in English To speak Japanese correctly, it is important that you understand the grammar well. That is why we use English to explain the Japanese grammatical rules. After explaining the grammar, our Japanese classes then follow up with practicing conversational Japanese in small groups, so that you quickly put to use the grammar you learnt. Difference #4: We teach hiragana during the first lesson We don't believe in the use of Roman letters. That is why we make sure you master hiragana at the earliest possible stage. This way, we make sure you can start reading and write Japanese more quickly.
