Hello there!!
皆さんこんにちわ！！
Today, I want to study Business English with you.
今日は、皆さんとビジネス英語を学習したいと思います。
Although there are many English Speakers in Japan, some of them don't know how to speak English as Business way.
日本には、英語を喋れる方が数多くいますが、ビジネス英語を喋れる人は少ないと思います。
Actually I am one of them, so I must improve my English ability at mush higher level than now for using English in business society.
実は私もその中の１人で、ビジネスの世界で英語を生かすには、更なる英語の精進が必要です。
Well, so much for preliminaries. OK! Let's start!!
前置きはこれぐらいにしてレッスンを始めましょう！！
