Japanese Food

Learning a new language is more than just having the ability to speak a few words in a conversation.  It allows a person to truly embrace and enjoy a new culture.  Not from the eyes of a foreigner but from the eyes of the native people.

There are many language courses that are really good.  However they all tend to have their own way of teaching the subject.  What I really like about Rocket is that is attempts to give several ways of learning.  So if you like to learn from vocabulary drills they have it.  If you need pictures and sounds they have that as well.
One thing I must say is that even though I do make money when someone buys a Rocket program from my site.  On my site I only give recommendations from products I have either tried or know people that have tried them.  I personally have used Rocket Spanish and about 3 other major language programs and Rocket kept the material light but relevant.  They also have games that are fun and visual which is right up my alley.

As always their is a money back guarantee with Rocket course but I am positive that you will not need it.  One piece of advice I will give is that you really need an hour a day to practice to really get the benefit.  If you do this I am sure that you will truly succeed with this program and start speaking your new language in a matter of hours.

Using RSS Aggregators

RSS is the short term for Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary. It is the most recent tool for managing information and is gaining increasing popularity amongst web site users and owners alike.

RSS technology offers the potential of getting the latest entries from a web site. However, by simply clicking on the RSS or XML button you will not receive the service you might expect at first glance. The information received would be made of up of symbols and computer language that mean very little to the average internet user. Therefore, a tool called a RSS aggregator, or a RSS reader, is required.

The RSS aggregator software scans the internet to search for recent postings from a number of given web sites based upon the RSS code provided by the user. When the aggregator finds relevant news or updates it will post the information to the RSS feed on your homepage. Each of the news feeds will have a clickable link to the source web site where the RSS aggregator initially gathered the information. The RSS feed might only contain fragments of an article depending on the aggregator software you are using.

Aggregators are available in two versions. You can either download software to use on your desktop or you can use an online web-based version.

The downloadable version normally comes at a cost in return for a more superior service including regular updates and patches. This type of software is better than its basic free counterparts as it would allow you to customise the feeds including the format of the feed and the design.

Web-based RSS aggregators are more often than not free to internet users who simply register an account in order to start using the service. As a free service, this type of aggregator can very rarely be customised, if at all.

Internet marketers are realising the full potential of RSS aggregators when they advertise their services and products. Many marketers even submit their RSS codes to the most popular aggregators in order to attract users of the online market place. My Yahoo is one example of successful RSS technology that has been popular amongst both web site owners and advertisers and their customers, the users.

Updated versions of RSS aggregators are continually being launched by developers. There are presently a wide number of aggregators to chose from in both the downloadable and web-based categories.

Japanese culture

It is well known that the Japanese are somewhat ceremonious in the way they carry out negotiations, from the initial meetings to the concluding stages. A foreigner, or ‘gaijin’, as the Japanese are wont to refer to westerners, may find Japanese culture and traditions so daunting that they may fight shy of pursuing the effort. Japanese culture enjoins a deep respect for elders, attention to detail and a commitment to spending time de-stressing after work.

Some of the important aspects of doing business with the Japanese include:

Pay serious attention to the business card

At the start of any business meeting, the Japanese conduct a formal exchange of business cards, which is referred to as ‘meishi kokan’. The one receiving it is expected to take the card in a most deferential manner with both hands, read it carefully, speaking aloud while doing so, and then place it in a cardholder or on the table in front of them, makeing a reference to it during the course of the subsequent proceedings. It is considered disrespectful to the giver, to simply put the card in one’s pocket upon receiving it.

Be Deferential to senior staff at the workplace

The Japanese value their elders for the wisdom and experience they provide to the organisation. It is therefore customary to always address the highest-ranking person present when making the opening remarks during a meeting. It is important never to openly disagree with him or her. When bowing – which is the Japanese form of greeting — one should always bow deepest to the senior most executive.

Avoid getting emotional

The Japanese believe in keeping their emotions in check, and abhor any display of emotion in the workplace. They speak in a low, measured tone, and will often close their eyes when paying close attention to a speaker which to the casual onlooker might appear to be a sign of boredom.

Make use of connections

It is important to establish your credentials through forming the right connections in Japan. As wsith any geography, it makes abundant business sense to be in the good books of those who are influential, as a way to gain entry into the right business circles. Business people often seek to arrange meetings with high-ranking officials to request their endorsement. This does not mean that merit is ignored, but that having the approval of a high-level official is a form of corroboration of the firm’s capability and commitment.

Important phrases

Japanese is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world, considering that over 99% percent of the country’s population speak the same language, although there are a number of dialects in different geographical areas. It is definitely advantageous to know a few commonly used phrases in Japanese when you are visiting the country. The following are some of them:

Hello: Konnichiwa

How are you? Ogenki desu ka?

Please: Onegai shimasu

Thank you: Domo arigatoo gozaimasu

You’re welcome: Doo itashimashite

Excuse me: Sumimasen desu ga

My name is: Watakushi no namae wa…..

I understand: Hai wakarimasu

I don’t understand: Lie, wakarimasen

Please wait: Shotto matte kudasai

Good bye: Sayoonara

Conclusion

Visitors to Japan for business or pleasure will find the Japanese customs to be fascinating and in many contexts definitely pleasing. For those seeking to do business, it is important to go with the tide as far as Japanese cultural beliefs and common practice are concerned, and to acquire at least a basic knowledge of the language, such as a dozen or so key phrases for everyday usage.
