Nihongo Dojo is a hands-on performance critique training hall. You will know the strengths and the weak spots of your communication style/skill with Japanese.
Among the numerous language programmes, this is a rare practical business skill training combined with strategic phrases to enable you to get inside "honne" or real intentions of your working partners.

●Sep. 17th session is to acquire the pragmatic skills of how to conduct face-to-face/online meetings & presentations in Japanese or English.
Through simulation exercise of a typical meeting situation, you will have personalised advice as to how to effectively influence and become their business partners of choice.
●Sep. 22nd session is to learn what it takes to "connect"with Japanese beyond communication: how to build trust and get inside their "honne" or real intentions.
You will learn what business attitudes they frown upon and treasure. Through role-playing, you will also learn select phrases to close cultural distance and become their comrade.

Language Requirement
This is for upper basic to intermediate Japanese level learners.
However, ALL levels can dive in. The training philosophy of Dojo is critique the communicability of your "message" -- to what extent it moves the Japanese mind and makes them choose you as indispensable partner.
Very often N2 or even N1 doesn't have that influence to penetrate the Japanese 本音 because they are too textbookish, too polite!
What you must bring is your GUTS to BREAKTHROUGH to a new depth and absorb everything from the Dojo Master.
Instruction Language
English. Simulation and roleplaying will be in Japanese at whatever level. When stuck, Tak will help. Training globally, Tak is skilled in handling mixed language proficiencies.
Session format

Voices of Udemy Course Participants about the Same Topic
A. Patil
"This course was really insightful for understanding different phrases and concepts used in Japanese Business conversations and the idea behind them. I think the 5 Golden rules are really helpful to navigate in Japanese corporate culture. I really hope that you will make more Udemy courses on related subject, Kawatani-san."
M. Barbara
"Provides excellent guidance to interacting with colleagues, clients and superiors in a Japanese work setting. Thanks to accessible explanations and engaging visuals, it helps you to see the cultural bases for the expressions it recommends. You also get to try out the new language immediately, thanks to guided practice activities in context.
Concise and practical, yet also rewarding at a deeper level. In short: recommended!"
T. Wilhelm
"This is really an awesome course by a great teacher. If you take this course you are rewarded with lots of deep insights but also with very useful practical knowledge. I really enjoyed this course. And I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Japanese culture. Arigatou-gozaimashita Kawatani-san."
P. Rajpopat
"Kawatani Sensei’s style of teaching has always been very unique and interesting. This course is highly innovative and one of a kind as it focuses on the cross-cultural aspects of learning a language - which is most needed for understanding the Japanese mindset and behaviour patterns. This is an excellent program!!"

I have spent 35 years to help Japanese managers and engineers to become great leaders and their international colleagues like you to collaborate with them for synergy.
Since 1986, I have been travelling globally to train business managers, engineers, diplomats and military officers, speak at conferences, hosted radio and internet TV shows, and published a dozen books about global leadership, Japanese management and corporate behaviours.
Under globalisation, Japanese businesses are fighting with dilemmas: being stripped of self-esteem and confidence to speak up and lead the global talent such as YOU reading my bio.
Come and learn with other like-minded individuals the strategic mind and skills to "connect" with them and achieve your goal of successful collaboration with Japanese people.
I'm looking forward to meeting wonderful people!! See you soon!!
