Read the room, hand over your card the right way, and survive the nomikai — in Japanese.

You will be able to walk into a Japanese office, exchange meishi without fumbling, sit in the right seat, speak a few keigo lines that land well, and behave at an after-hours dinner without guessing.

Who this is for
