 | Japanese for Professionals by Association for Japanese-Language Teaching Staff
The Association for Japanese-Language Teaching (AJALT), renowned for its Japanese for Busy People series, has developed a comprehensive course for students who need to use Japanese in a business environment. Japanese for Professionals is a serious and detailed manual of the language of trade, commerce, and bureaucracy, aimed at intermediate students who work with Japanese on a daily basis. Fourteen lessons introduce common business situations -- first time meetings, directing subordinates, client negotiations -- with key sentences and a dialogue to illustrate how Japanese is used in a business context. Precise definitions for all new vocabulary and lucid explanations of grammar, idiom, and cultural differences provide the reader with powerful communication tools for the office. Exercises and puzzles have been included to help students check their progress, and three lessons have been set aside for review. Busy professionals will find the appendices -- on letter writing, official documents, budget sheets, and business jargon -- and bilingual glossaries a useful reference even after completing all the lessons in this clear and extremely helpful textbook.
