Learn Japanese Greetings & Questions

Summary: The Japanese language gave the world the first novel ever written, The Tale of Genji, composed by a woman in the 13th century; a corpus of anime and manga that explore mature themes of spirituality, aging, war, and love; and plenty of humorous translation accidents, a la “All your base are belong to us.” Because of the many business opportunities overseas and Japanese-run companies setting up shop in the United States, learning to speak Japanese could be a savvy move. Or maybe you want to practice meditation at a Soto Zen monastery in the rural hills. There are many reasons why the Japanese language can be important to American entrepreneurs and travelers.
