Course Reflection
With this business Japanese course I was able to study about various Japanese business practices within Japanese society which would be beneficial should I be able to find a job in Japan. This class was quite challenging for me because we had discussed difficult topics such as honorific speech, business manners, complex sentence structures, among other topics in Japanese. At the end of this course, as a culmination of what we had learned throughout this course, a group of four other student and myself, created a script, post, and mini drama using the honorific Japanese as well as appropriate Japanese business manners. Attached below is a copy of the script and the flyer I created for the group.
