In the first half of the intermediate level, you will learn the expressions in the Japanese textbook using a method developed by us to be used in business situations. In the latter half of the Intermediate level to the Advanced level, students will learn to be aware of the hierarchical relationship in a company organization, as well as internal and external relationships, and will be able to enhance the social skills that Japanese companies are looking for in foreigners, such as “understanding the situation and feelings of others, and being able to collaborate with other companies and carry out one’s role independently”.
