course narrative
In this course I studied the various forms of polite Japanese, as well as basics on how to write official forms and how to format faxes in Japanese. Prior to taking this course, I was unaware of a lot of the more detailed requirements of Japanese workplaces. I was able to become more confident in my business speak, and as I often had to write business related emails prior to this class, I am excited that I will be able to come across as more professional in my personal work going forward.
