understand written English , but is not very adept at saying it . If they will
not understand your data , they will not hesitate to ask questions later .
2 .
Wait until permitted

speech of others is regarded as impolite even childish , even in casual or
informal meeting though. Instead , silence and listening will impress you
respect them .
3 .

should ask the subordinate giver , about the reason and purpose of the gift. If
not , the giver will wonder why you did not respond to the prize or gift . Know
why , and do not ever give gift giver reward , because they will assume you do
not like the gift they give .
6 .
Be careful in asking for an explanation
If

explanation . They will think you are asking them to repeat . In many countries
, this is a normal thing , but not for the Japanese . Wait until they are
finished with their conversation , and when there was a pause , then you can
apologize and ask for a more detailed explanation because there is a part that
you do not understand .
