Negotiation29 This theme equips you with the advanced vocabulary of high-stakes negotiation and behind-the-scenes bargaining (折衝) used in boardrooms, labor talks, and diplomacy. You will learn how educated adults talk about making concessions, finding a realistic landing point, and hammering out terms — as in 「水面下での折衝を重ねた末に、ようやく両社は基本合意にこぎ着けた」, 「値引き率をめぐって、双方が納得できる落としどころに落ち着いた」, and 「先方の不誠実な対応が続くなら、この話はいったん白紙に戻さざるを得ない」. These expressions carry a formal, often tense register suited to serious professional and news contexts.
Meetings & proposals30 This theme teaches the polished, indirect vocabulary of Japanese corporate meetings and decision-making, where consensus and face-saving matter as much as the proposal itself. You will hear these N1 expressions in boardrooms and formal email threads — from organizing the discussion, as in 「まずは論点を整理してから議論を深めましょう」, to the euphemisms of deferral and cautious approval, as in 「その件はいったん棚上げにせざるを得ない」 and the famously noncommittal 「前向きに検討させていただきます」. Master them and you can read what is really being decided beneath the formal register.
Management & responsibility29 This theme equips you with the advanced, formal vocabulary of management and accountability that appears in boardrooms, audits, and business news. You will learn to speak of overseeing an organization (統括), pinning down where responsibility lies (責任の所在), risk management (リスク管理), delegation of authority (権限委譲), compliance, corrective action (是正), and the pitfalls of over-reliance on individuals (属人化). These are the phrasings a senior professional would actually use — as in "事故が起きた際に責任の所在が曖昧なままでは、再発防止の議論も上滑りに終わってしまう" or "権限を委譲されたからには、自らの判断で動くべきだろう" — carrying the measured, weighty register expected at N1.
