Creek & River (C&R) will holdsa a seminar titled "Let's Master Japanese Business Manners! Vol. 1: Polite Communication Techniques" on Wednesday, November 22nd.

In this seminar, we will look at cushion words and aizuchi,（agreement words） and see how important they are for demonstrating good manners in conversation.

First, the seminar will go over the use of cushion words while speaking. These words are very important for keeping harmony in conversations. Cushion words are essential for fluent and polite communication in Japanese, as they serve to soften language and convey nuanced meanings. This skill is ideal for individuals interested in improving their Japanese language skills, whether for business, cultural immersion, or personal enrichment.

Next, the seminar will cover the concept of aizuchi, or agreement words. This refers to the art of providing verbal cues, such as nods, short affirmations, and interjections, to show active listening and engagement during a conversation. Participants will gain an understanding of the cultural and linguistic significance of aizuchi in Japanese communication.
