Description

This week, we discuss business English based on the Japanese article that Mari found. Then we elaborate on work cultures in both Japan and the U.S.! 


Please let us know what you think about the manner and the use of language in your country/ your workplace and share it with us! 


We would love to know more stories or things you noticed other than what we talk about on today's episode.


The article is from Forbes JAPAN (Oct 8th, 2020) "日本人が使いがちな英語表現は相手を傷つける?米国で学んだ正しい伝え方" 


今回はフォーブズジャパンで読んだ記事を元に話してみたよ。ビジネス英語って意外と難しくて、日本語でのニュアンスをそのまま英語に直して使うと相手が攻撃的に受け取りかねない時がある。でも、英語の教科書で習わない表現が多いから、実際に住んで働いたことがないとなかなか知らなかったりする。このエピソードでこういう英語のフレーズがあるんだな、と少しでも役立つと嬉しい!そして、注意のされ方も日本とアメリカで相当違うみたい。文化の違いって相当大きいよね〜
