How to Address People in Japan is Explained by BISCUE App in 7 Languages

Tokyo, Japan, June 18, 2014 --(PR.com)-- "BISCUE App," a business skills application provided by Shubiki Corporation, Japan, has released a new in-app course entitled "Business Manners in Japan - Addressing Someone," for smartphones and tablets in 7 languages including Japanese, English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and French.

One of the Japanese mannerisms that often confuse foreigners living and working in Japan is how people are addressed in various situations.

When doing business, in particular, the rules are very complicated and if you address someone incorrectly you can leave an impolite or rude impression, thus making it difficult even for businesspeople proficient in Japanese to properly address anyone when doing business.

BISCUE has been providing a number of Japanese language courses focusing on various business scenes in Japan. The newly released series comprises a part of them and is designed for learning how to address people in Japanese business society in multiple languages.

The courses are provided through side-by-side translation with audio narration between 6 different languages and Japanese, which enables both non-Japanese and Japanese business professionals to learn foreign languages used in business.
