Glossika's video: Interview with Tim Keeley: Japanese Communication and Language 2019 Polyglot Conference

At the 2019 Polyglot Conference, Glossika founder Michael Campbell and professor Tim Keeley sat down to talk about Japanese language, communication style and body language. The question they discuss is how effective communication is in languages that are socially indirect. Professor Keeley also talks about the communication concepts known as high-context and low-context, in addition to his living and teaching experience in Japan. ⭐️Key Takeaways: • When speaking Japanese, it’s considered polite to be an active listener by responding frequently to the speaker • Actively listeners frequently say “はい/hai”, which doesn’t mean “yes”, but rather “I hear you” • Most of the body language cues can be lost in Japanese written communication. ⭐️About Tim Keeley Professor Tim Keeley is a professor of International Management of Kyushu Sangyo University. He is also a linguist who speaks and learns more than 20 languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Nepali, Spanish, Italian, etc. ⭐️About Glossika Glossika sorts natural languages by structure and difficulty, delivering memory, pronunciation and fluency skills to language learners between any two languages.
