A Japanese language skills centre and full-service business solution provider, based in the heart of Thailand's Eastern Seaboard industrial region.
We started with a simple question: why do people who have studied Japanese for years still struggle to understand their Japanese manager at work?
The answer is that textbook Japanese and factory Japanese are not the same language. SBA Development exists to teach Japanese that works in real situations — taught by people who have done that work themselves: factory interpreters, engineers and Japanese executives.
Today we offer a full range of services, from language teaching for individuals and children through to in-house corporate training, interpreting, technical translation and consulting on Japanese workplace culture.
Every lesson must answer: when will the learner use this, and with whom?
On-site experience is something no textbook can provide.
We have lived that friction ourselves, so we know how to explain it.
Understand how Japanese colleagues think and communication becomes far smoother.
Pluak Daeng, Rayong — the centre of the Eastern Seaboard, where our clients actually work.
