By focusing on the most useful elements for everyday and professional life, the programme positions itself as a practical shortcut to fluency. At its core, the show teaches you a range of practical, effective expressions that you can use straight away in the workplace. These phrases are chosen for real‑world relevance, helping you sound confident when emailing, presenting, or negotiating. Alongside the language, it also provides insight into Japanese business culture, so you’ll understand the etiquette and expectations that underpin corporate interactions. On top of that, there’s a dedicated focus on sharpening your kanji, building a solid reading foundation. The curriculum is built around applying what you learn directly to professional settings, so you won’t just memorise isolated vocabulary. Instead, you’ll see how each expression fits within the broader cultural context, and you’ll practise kanji that you’re likely to encounter on the job. By the end of the series, you should feel equipped to communicate clearly, navigate business customs, and read kanji with greater confidence.
