Japanese & Korean Classes
Online in Chennai
Chennai is Asia's Detroit — home to Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Renault. If you work in the automotive corridor, Japanese or Korean is the career language you cannot afford to ignore.
The Chennai Automotive Reality
Chennai is Asia's Detroit. Japanese and Korean are its languages.
Chennai's automotive corridor stretches from Sriperumbudur to Oragadam and hosts the Indian manufacturing plants of Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Renault, and dozens of Tier-1 Japanese and Korean automotive suppliers. The region directly employs hundreds of thousands of engineers, technicians, quality professionals, and managers.
At every level of the automotive ladder — from the assembly floor to the C-suite — professionals who speak Japanese or Korean are assigned to Japan/Korea liaison roles, earn 20–40% more, and are first in line for international postings. This is not a soft skill. It is a career accelerant.
The Oriental Dialogue delivers live, structured Japanese and Korean classes online — taught by Pune's leading faculty, available at times that work around automotive shift patterns.

Results that speak to your industry
"I work at a Tier-1 supplier to Toyota in Chennai. The Japanese course at TOD — taken entirely online — gave me the language to interact with our Japanese engineers directly. I was promoted to Japan Liaison Coordinator within 8 months."
"Working at Hyundai Motor India's Sriperumbudur plant. The Korean course from TOD was exactly what I needed — TOPIK-structured, business-focused, and the online format meant I could attend from home after my shift."
"The Devanagari method made Japanese pronunciation click for me in a way no YouTube tutorial or app ever did. TOD's structured course and the clear JLPT pathway are what make it genuinely different from self-study."
