「強みは？」に即答できる自分になる！日本人現役中国語通訳者が教える ビジネス中国語を身に着けるための3つのこと

Hello everyone. This video is recommended for those who are suddenly asked, "What are your strengths?" and immediately find themselves confused . This video is about my strengths. I lead a busy life every day and feel like I don't have time . I want to work based on my own principles without being swayed by others. I want to stay healthy and live a long life. This video is recommended for those people . nice to meet you. It seems that I am a Japanese person who started learning Chinese after entering the workforce. I currently work as a business interpreter and Chinese language trainer for business people . Why does learning Chinese lead to working in a way that is tailored to your own needs ? Learning Chinese is a powerful skill that can be applied to business. I'm sure you can understand this. So why do we recommend Chinese? What kind of language is Chinese? What you can gain from learning it . Why not other languages? I'll explain from three perspectives. Let's take a look at what Chinese is like . First of all, it is a global language. In terms of numbers, the number of mothers in Japan is said to be 900 million, surpassing English to become the number one in the world. In terms of scope, it includes China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, which I'm sure you all know. Chinese speakers are also widespread around the world, including in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Singapore , as well as in Europe, America, Africa, and the Middle East . I personally have had the experience of finding Chinese useful in Europe . Secondly, it is a language that is very easy for Japanese people to learn . It is surprisingly little known that, apart from Chinese-speaking people, Japanese people are the only people in the world who understand kanji. I understand kanji . This is a big advantage for Japanese people when it comes to learning Chinese . Furthermore, Japanese and Chinese have a lot in common when it comes to the origins of their words. It is easy for Japanese people to learn. In other words, it is a language that produces results in a short period of time . Next is demand. This is something that has always been, and will always be, deeply connected geographically, intellectually, regardless of its origins. Knowing Chinese will help you. On the other hand, as we become more international, not knowing becomes a risk. It is said that there are as many as one million people living in Japan who can speak Chinese, and they could become a market and business partners for your business. Despite this, how many Japanese people around you can speak Chinese? Probably very few . It is said that the number is one in 200 people . There are still very few Japanese people who can speak Chinese. Next, let's look at what Chinese can offer . Above all, it will become a skill that sets you apart from others, a strength . It is said that only one in 200 Japanese people can speak Chinese. It's still not enough. Just being able to speak a little can put you in a position of being a capable person. It 's sure to impress both inside and outside the car. By acquiring skills that set you apart from others, you can distance yourself from the competition. You will be able to choose whether or not to participate in the competition . Learning Chinese also allows you to build a strong network of contacts . You will soon be able to join the ranks of business people who can speak Chinese . Aren't there many people who can speak Chinese who are energetic and have a strong engineering background ? By being surrounded by such people, I can be stimulated and grow. You can also become part of the network of China Prefecture, a large Chinese-speaking prefecture that spans the globe . You will be able to get a wide range of cutting edge information . You can also have a global perspective . It is generally said that Chinese language learners tend to be very unique. You will gain a rich network of contacts outside of work, which will enrich your life. These unique skills and rich connections will create many opportunities. While in the car, you may hear about overseas trips and new projects, and outside the company, you may also have opportunities to change jobs or be headhunted. Of course, companies can also create new jobs themselves . Of course, it's up to you whether you choose these opportunities or not, and whether you take on the challenge or not. Having more options means you can maintain your own pace and be yourself. So what about languages ​​other than Chinese? First of all, English. It is indeed a global language . It is necessary. It's important. There are simply too many people who can do it. Don't you think it would be difficult to make it your own unique strength? Well, what about European languages ​​like French and Spanish? Not many people can speak them. However, there is little use for it unless you are working in a directly related field . Unfortunately, it doesn't lead to new opportunities . So, what about Vietnamese and Ta? I feel there is potential in the future. It can be used, right? However, it is a very difficult word for Japanese people. The characters and pronunciation are completely different from Japanese, so there are very few Japanese people who can use it at work. In this video, I have explained why learning Chinese can help you live your life on your own terms . Chinese is a global language . It is a language that is easy for Japanese people to learn in a short period of time . It is a word that is in high demand in the business environment . Despite this, there are very few people who can speak it compared to English. Being able to speak a little Chinese is a skill that will open up many opportunities and options both inside and outside the car . By studying Chinese, you will gain unique strengths , avoid getting caught up in the competition around you, and be able to go at your own pace and on your own terms . Chinese will be your strength. So see you in the next video. Hello everyone. This is Ukayo. In this video, we will explain what level of Chinese you need to know to be able to help you, divided into five levels. First, let's look at what the average Japanese businessman is like. Most Japanese people have completed their military service. That 's all. This alone will not bring any particular benefits to your business . What about you? Level 1 is the level where you can greet people and introduce yourself in broken Japanese . This level allows you to feel familiar . You can master it in one day. However, this is a bit weak in terms of business power . However, the reality is that very few people are even able to do this . Next is level 2. Restaurants, hotels and public transport are available. This way you can travel alone. You could say he is someone who can do stonework. Once you get this far, you can effectively promote your business. I can travel on business without an interpreter . You will be recognized as a great Chinese speaker on the train . The way people look at you will also clearly change. Let's take a look at it next. At level 3, you can read a pre-prepared manuscript . You can also give presentations and speeches . He is someone who can convey a certain kind of message. At level 4, you can express your thoughts without any preconceptions . You can also hear their reactions to it. You will be able to negotiate. Level 5. If you get this far, you're at the peak. We can handle any unexpected topic. Living in Japanese and Chinese. This will enable you to become a good interpreter. You already know, right? Chinese as a business skill is by no means at a high level . You will be able to greet and introduce yourself on your own, be able to speak Japanese at restaurants and hotels, and be able to travel alone on business trips . If you're quick, you can reach this level in 3 months, but even if you're slow, you can reach it in a year . To be honest, this level of English won't change your life. In Chinese it changes. So learning Chinese makes sense for business people. Summary. In this video, we have given you an idea of ​​what kind of Chinese you need to know to change your life, divided into different levels. Most Japanese people can only say Niha and Shi . It's not difficult to acquire Chinese language skills that you can use to demonstrate your strengths . This can be achieved in as little as three months. Most Japanese business people can only say hello and thank you. Once you get past that, Chinese can become your strength. So see you in the next video. Now, let's get to the main topic. In this video, I'll talk about three things you need to know to make your Chinese skills your strengths. There are three: how to study, how to stay motivated, and how to improve efficiency. First, I 'll talk about my study method. First, demonstrate your self-study skills. Next, you should focus on short-term intensive study, and finally, you should thoroughly improve your pronunciation . Why self-study? Because business people already have the ability to learn . I have developed my learning skills many times through studying for entrance exams, club activities, and practical business situations . It's different from being a student. You do n't need to learn everything about your teacher. You'll be fine as long as you study with confidence and the learning skills you've cultivated up until now. Self-study is efficient. At Math School, students learn at their own pace. In Chinese language classes, you will need to adapt to the pace of your teacher and the other students. You are in control of your own learning. Self-study is the most efficient way to learn . So how do you study on your own? You can learn most things using commercially available textbooks and materials. What is written in each one is not that different. What is not written here is something that you do not need to learn, at least at the beginner or intermediate level. The trick to quickly improving your skills is to learn what is written without getting hung up on what is not written. There is hardly any special teaching method. Focus on how you study rather than what you study . You already have the ability to educate yourself . There are plenty of great textbooks and learning materials available. All you need to do is decide when and where you will study. Let's decide this first. How much time do you plan to spend studying each day? On the other hand, it is recommended that you don't study more than you have decided. When you first start studying, it 's fun and many people end up overdoing it, but even if you're feeling good, it's important not to study for more than the set amount of time . Working adults have jobs and families. In order to ensure an environment where you can concentrate on your studies with peace of mind, you should not neglect your work or family life . Think about it. When and where will you study Chinese? Here are some study tips you should know. The second point is to focus on a short period of time. It is often said that you can learn a language by working hard at it or in your spare time , but this is not necessarily true . The best thing to do is go to one lesson a week. Many people think that this seems like a good pace . If you practice it every day in your spare time, eventually you will be able to speak it. Many people think this way . However, this method will never allow you to clear the first level . You wo n't learn anything by studying little by little in your spare time . Even if I go to school a week in advance, I forget everything by the next time I go. I'm sure many of you have had similar experiences. The first level can only be cleared with a short period of intensive study . The reason why it is effective to steadily practice in your spare time is to maintain your level as an intermediate car driver. Remember, the first pitch is short-term focus . The next study method to remember is to study pronunciation thoroughly. Why is it important to be thorough with pronunciation ? It's simple. If it's not correct, it won't be understood. I've heard that Chinese pronunciation is difficult, but I often hear phrases like this. it 's okay. There are already established methods for teaching and learning pronunciation for adults studying Chinese . There is no need to be unnecessarily scared. Anyone can pronounce it. By learning the theory of how to shape your mouth and position the bottom of your mouth, anyone can learn to pronounce Chinese in just a few months . rest assured. However, there is one thing to note. Once you have mastered basic pronunciation through self-study, you should get your pronunciation checked by a pronunciation instructor as soon as possible. For business people who want to see results in a short period of time, expert advice is especially useful . We often receive consultations from people who are unsure whether their pronunciation is correct or not . By having your work checked, you can gain confidence in what you're doing and quickly correct any mistakes. By doing this, you will definitely be able to master Chinese pronunciation. I can speak fluent Chinese. Summary. Use the self-study skills you have developed so far to acquire the Chinese language skills that will become your strengths . To clear the beginner level, you need to concentrate for a short period of time . In order to speak understandable Chinese, it is first necessary to study pronunciation thoroughly. You can learn the basics of pronunciation on your own. However, don't forget to get it checked by a professional . These are the three things you need to know to develop your Chinese language skills to your advantage . First, I talked about study methods . See you in the next video. Hello. It seems that Three things you need to know to make Chinese your strength . In this video, I'll talk about the second method for staying motivated. The key to staying motivated can be expressed in three forces. First, the ability to feel growth, then the ability to plateau, and finally the ability to experience difference. What is the ability to feel that you are growing? There are so many people who have taken the time to learn Chinese and want to turn it into a strength, but then give up. Most people become discouraged, saying that they don't feel like they're making any progress or that they can't see any growth . It's actually not easy to feel your own growth . That's why we create a system that allows you to feel your growth from the very beginning . The method is simple. Keep taking the exam . There are two major Chinese language exams: the ATSK Ha You Shui Pin and the Chinese Proficiency Test. The difference between the two is something like "eigata" in English . HSK, which has a large number of actual test sessions and answers, has become popular recently. It is often said that qualification exams are meaningful, but of course the purpose is not to obtain a qualification . The aim is to create a cycle in which taking the test allows students to know their current level, recognize their growth, gain a sense of accomplishment, and increase their motivation . One of the goals is to encourage rapid growth by creating a deadline for taking the exam. Check out the Chinese language exams you can apply for now. If you are starting from scratch, we recommend HSK Levels 1 and 2. Taking the exam gives you a real sense of purpose, as it helps to boost your motivation. The second key to staying motivated is staying motivated. This is a word I coined, and it represents the strength and courage to make a public declaration . I started studying Chinese in public. I want to master Chinese. It takes a lot of strength and courage to make this declaration . This will give you a good sense of tension as others are watching you, and encourage you to do your best . By making a declaration, you are prepared to take a stand and not back down . Specifically, you could tell your family that you have started learning Chinese and will be studying from what time each day, or that you have an exam next month . When I do it, I get encouragement and people say, "Wow, you're doing a great job." If you don't do it, you may be looked at a little coldly . This is also a motivation. Many people declare their intentions on social media. If possible, it is better to use your real name. Facebook is more effective than Twitter. If studying Chinese is just a hobby for you, you probably won't be able to get this far. Do it for your work and for your life. If you think it's a study, declare it in public. This can and should be done. Finally, what is the ability to experience difference? For example, going to eat a real Chinese restaurant and speaking to the waiter in Chinese. Then there's listening to Chinese songs, watching Chinese dramas, and keeping an eye on the news . There are many ways to enjoy it, such as traveling or reading literary works. Discovering the world of Chinese that is all around you, enjoying it, and creating it - developing these skills will also help you improve your learning ability . In this video, we talked about how to stay motivated to develop your Chinese skills to your advantage . The ability to experience growth . The ability to make a declaration in front of others and not back down, and the ability to enjoy Chinese. By incorporating these three things, you will be able to keep your motivation up without any stress . The above is what you need to know first to acquire Chinese language skills that will become your strengths . Of the three, I talked about how to keep yourself motivated. See you in the next video . Hello everyone. It seems that In this video, I will talk about three things you need to know to make Chinese your strength and how to improve your efficiency. If you want to improve your Chinese language skills in the midst of a busy daily life, it is natural to want to improve your efficiency . However, this is why you need to be careful . Strongest, simple, be careful of these words right now . The world is full of study methods. Are you being swept away by the wave of information and desperately trying to gather it rather than studying ? Gathering information is important, but you should not drown in it . Choose reliable information and believe it after you have chosen it. Then, fill in the area in this way . That's important. Don't keep searching for the one best and easiest way to study. Ultimately, what's needed to increase efficiency is to not waver . Also, when it comes to language learning, money can buy time . The world is full of videos, blogs, and free content. But how many people will be fooled by this ? This is not necessary for students with plenty of free time or those who are studying as a hobby without any particular expectations of results. If you want to see results quickly and reliably, it 's important to spend the money you need where it's needed. For example, whether or not you have your pronunciation checked by a pronunciation expert will make a huge difference in the speed and rate of your learning. If you're used to going to the gym and working out, you know this. Professional guidance will greatly improve your growth. When it comes to language learning, making the necessary investment will lead to a solid return. Wouldn't you say this is an ideal investment for risk management ? Because you are spending a certain amount of money, you will be more serious about getting your money's worth, and it will also have the effect of increasing efficiency. In this video, we have explained some efficient ways to learn Chinese as quickly and effectively as possible . If you feel that your study method is inefficient, stop using it. Stop being confused about how to study because of words like ``only,'' ``strongest,'' and ``easy .'' It's not what you study with, but how you study . You can increase efficiency by spending money. Investing in languages ​​is a great idea . Above, we have explained how to improve efficiency . See you in the next video.
