Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! We interrupt our Postcards series to bring you a quick 2 parter about life in a Japanese company (kaisha). Their company ace, Kinoshita, is MIA! We’ll look at some important business phrases as well new terms like maternity neurosis (whatever that may be)! And we’ll practice expressing causal relationships using no de, which is our exciting grammar point for the day. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!

Mina-san, today we’re looking at some new business vocabulary.
And I have to say, Natsuko-san and Sachiko-san went crazy with the vocabulary explanations this week! This episode is quite long, but they really get into the nuance of some of this vocab. Lot’s of good stuff in here, we hope you enjoy it!

i manage to pass my JLPT4 for the 2006 paper… i intend to take up level 3.. can i know which audio are best for level 3?
i m self-study, therefore level 3 seem to be difficult for me compare to level 4…

I found this lesson very challenging…. I think I will listen to it one more time.
Shenyong, I would say try jumping in around beginners lesson 100. You can then jump backwards or forwards from there depending how easy you find it.

shenyong, i agree with NickT.
as for me, i listen to all the levels, listening to things are too difficult doesn’t hurt. 
nothing is too easy or too hard. it’s all japanese.

markystar-san– perfect advice. I agree, i love listening to all the lessons. the more I listen, the better I get. Though, it’s the speaking that i am absolutely horrible at.
nick-t san, i agree with you. it was a little difficult, but thankfully we can listen as many times as we want until it sinks in. ^___^
