Features: Japanese expressions used in the business world, where the treatment changes based on the "inside and outside" of an organization, hierarchical relationships within the organization, and different interpersonal dynamics. Additionally, in Japanese culture that values harmony, when conveying ideas, people generally avoid direct judgment and instead use more indirect expressions, especially in business settings. This book consists of 17 lessons, each including "Opening Dialogue," "Key Expressions," "Exercises," and "Answer Key," except for the comprehensive practice and information-providing lessons. The conversational style of the book is primarily polite, and the "Answer Key" follows suit. This book is based on the teaching materials used by Fujiwara Akira during his summer lectures at Stanford University in the United States from 1992 to 1994. Additionally, teachers from the "Tōkyō Kyōkai Hōjin Kokusai Nihongo Kyōwakusha" who have long years of business experience have incorporated many examples they have collected in their daily practice, which were then carefully refined to create this book.
