JPN&CHS Biz conversations 2-1
iOS Universel / Education
To all the Language Fighters
Notice
This app is a starter app for those who will be starting to learn Japanese and Chinese business conversations.
The conversation contents include the business know-hows based on the app creator's experience as well, so please look forward to the realism of it.
The recommended usage of this app is to first, memorize the whole phrase from a scene you liked. Then, repeat it out loud multiple times until you can say it out of memory at any time. We hope you will be able to say it during your next web conference or business trip at the right timing and feel the impact.
If the mood of the meeting becomes lighter or you get closer with your business partners overseas, choose your second, third phrases, thinking ahead of the next possible situations before you forget the feeling. We are happy if you will keep adding more whole phrases to memorize and create an enjoyable future.

In business conversations, creating trust with your business partner is necessary, unlike in trips and general Japanese or Chinese conversations. Therefore, the most important thing for overcoming business scenes in a foreign language is 【to 100% use sentences when conveying what must be said】. Even if you fail to catch what the other party has said, so you manage to remember a phrase like “もう一度”お願いします” or "请再说一遍 (Qǐng zàishuō yībiàn)" and use it, the possibility of catching what they said the second time is very low when you were unable to do so the first time. The atmosphere of the meeting will turn cold and result in a sad outcome. However, if you ask, "Did you just say this?", then the conversation will move on based on those words, giving you the control over the conversation. As a result, you will be able to fulfill your responsibilities in the business.
If you learn to speak at the level of needs on the site, we are sure you will be able to play an active role in the business scenes.
What is necessary in a business conversation is your own words, and you must always convey it in sentences.
The thing you must train first is not your listening skills, but your speaking skills.
Adding whole phrases to memorize, which helps you immediately respond during business conversations, will let you take the lead in meetings with your business partners.
Enjoy partaking in the global business scenes as an active role.
We sincerely hope this app will be helpful to you.
