A business Japanese textbook for learners at the end of the

beginner level

Here is a text with the goal of teaching the learner how to smoothly

converse with people in business situations.

The aim of the book is to have the learner engage in smooth interaction

with others via the thorough practice of the conversations in the book, and

to that end each chapter has "Text Conversation," "Expressions,"

"Conversation Practice 1" and "Conversation Practice 2" sections, allowing

for progressive practice. Particularly in the conversation practice sections,

in learning how to progress with a conversation in various situations, the

learner can practice the conscious deployment of words and expressions,

so he/she doesn’t just memorize the expressions but can connect them to

his or her own situation.

Once the learner has completed this book, he/she can go onto the next

book in the series "Intermediate 2" (scheduled to be published next

summer) and then on to the "Advanced" text (previously published) to

truly polish his/her practical business conversational skills.
