Features: A brand-new Japanese conversation textbook, specifically designed for the characteristics and needs of business Japanese learners. It selects typical scenarios from business activities and teaches the response techniques at the negotiation table. Accompanied by audio tapes, featuring authentic Japanese pronunciation by professional announcers, guiding you into the real business world. Additionally, "Japanese Conversation Basic Part" (Volumes 1 and 2), "Japanese Conversation Skills Part" help learners further improve their practical application abilities. "Japanese Conversation Business Part" includes various typical conversation scenarios between colleagues and clients that business professionals engage in throughout a day. Of course, due to space limitations, what is listed here is only a small part of the world of business conversations. Regarding the core content of business, such as advancing negotiations, haggling, bargaining, handling complaints, and exchanging contracts, individual case analyses like "How to express yourself in this situation" should be provided, as these core issues contain the essence of business conversations. However, they cannot be fully reflected in this book. Therefore, it is more appropriate to view "Japanese Conversation Business Part" as an introductory textbook for business conversations. Moreover, the content of "Japanese Conversation Business Part" not only includes business vocabulary but also encompasses a broader range of formal conversation basics. In fact, my students who graduated from Japanese language schools and Japanese universities and have worked in Japanese companies for many years told me they "cannot speak authentic and formal Japanese." Although they have no problems in daily conversations, they seem to encounter similar issues after securing jobs in Japanese companies. This book consists of two parts: Part 1 includes basic business Japanese conversations such as greetings, addressing, instructions, requests, apologies, justifications, discussions, suggestions, and reception; the second part includes content such as advancing, refusing, urging, and protesting that appears in business activities.
