Being able to use Japanese in business situations means not just having language knowledge, but also being able to communicate using it. In this lecture, we will identify the challenges learners face in terms of Japanese vocabulary, kanji, and grammar, and introduce learning methods to overcome these challenges. We will also consider the communication skills that need to be acquired.
