Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Japan Has An Entire Language Devoted To Politeness

"Keigo" is a type of Japanese that is only used in formal situations. There are three different varieties of keigo, which makes it much harder to master. The language is supposed to demonstrate respect. Fortunately, language schools frequently teach foreigners who want to learn Japanese how to speak it. But it might be quite hard to learn. People may think you're rude if you don't use keigo in a formal environment.

But utilizing keigo when you don't have to can also be considered as rude. So, you need to know when and when not to use keigo in social situations.
