DESCRIPTION

Learning a new language can be time consuming and hard work. It is well worth the effort if you have regular business dealings in another country but to start with, why not master just a few words and phrases in the local language. This is a great way to show respect and build your relationships. In the Asian Century, you are likely to find yourself doing business with people from China, which is why The Naked CEO has developed a 50-part series to help you learn some important business words and phrases. This is the second lesson in our series, where we teach you to say thank you.

WHEN TO SAY

THANK YOUIt is a Western custom to say ‘thank you’ in all kinds of situations,

so while it may seem gracious to say ‘thank you’ when you receive

a compliment, in Chinese culture this might actually be considered

rude. There is another Chinese phrase that is used to accept

compliments graciously which we will teach you in an upcoming

lesson. In the meantime, Think of the phrase ‘xie xie’ as a ‘thank

you’ for something tangible or for direct actions and gestures.
