Giving gifts is an integral part of Japanese culture, and this course will teach you the appropriate phrases and etiquette for these exchanges. You'll also learn about various honorifics and nicknames, including "CHAN," "KUN," and "SAMA," adapting your speech for different social contexts.
Understanding the differences between polite, casual, and rude speeches is crucial for effective communication. The course covers these distinctions, including the use of pronouns like "ANATA" and "KIMI," which can be considered rude in certain contexts.
Travel-specific content is also included, providing you with essential phrases for navigating airports, immigration, and local transportation. You'll learn how to give directions, handle health-related situations, and even use slang appropriately when describing delicious food.
Concluding with practical advice on what not to do in Japan, this course ensures you avoid common cultural pitfalls. Whether you're ordering food, giving directions, or dealing with health issues, you'll find yourself well-prepared with "KEIGO" phrases commonly used in restaurants and cafés.
