Hi everyone.<\/p>\n

Hope everyone is doing well out there. I realize that it’s time to start a new series on learning Japanese. This time, I decided to start something specifically about learning Japanese Keigo (\u656c\u8a9e\u3001\u3051\u3044\u3054).<\/p>\n

Keigo (\u656c\u8a9e\u3001\u3051\u3044\u3054) is part of Japanese language to show respect while communicating. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of learning Japanese, where it is critical to know when to use the right Keigo expression at the right time. \u00a0If used incorrectly, what you are trying to say might sound rather rude to others. Therefore, learning\u00a0Keigo (\u656c\u8a9e\u3001\u3051\u3044\u3054) is essential for learning Japanese. So, without many of the grammatical rules, I would like to introduce you to the world of\u00a0Keigo (\u656c\u8a9e\u3001\u3051\u3044\u3054) one situation at a time.<\/p>\n

Obviously, Keigo is often used in business environment as it is critical to respond to others in a polite manner. It is very important to differentiate the way you communicate between your manager(s) and your co-workers.<\/p>\n
