If you are an adult and work with Japanese colleagues or you’re planning a future business trip to Japan, our Japanese Language Classes for Business on Zoom helps prepare you.
We cover business situations in all classes, and also conversation after work and getting to know each other. After mastering these basics of business, language terms and simple sentence construction, at higher levels we move into more all-purpose Japanese topics and discussion.
Our Philosophy: We’re busy working professionals and come to class to study. We ask that you include time each week outside class to prepare, then we practice and expand in class. Then review again at home. Expect up to 2 hours preparation each week.
Class study at JASO is a benefit of membership, so you or your company must be a current JASO member to participate. All membership details HERE.
