Today's additional lesson
How to write Japanese business email?
First of all, in order to write a Japanese letter, you need to learn 尊敬語(sonkeigo), which is the honorific form. The form is used to honor the person you are writing to.
And you have 謙譲語（kenjyougo）, which is the humble form. This form is used to show respect to the person you are talking to.
E-mail is an important element of communication in Japanese business and you want to know how to structure sentences and letters if you are looking for jobs in japan.
