I have full confidence in you, man.

How much Japanese do you think you'll have to start using? If anything, I say just dive in and immerse yourself as much you can with the other Japanese-speaking people you'll be working with and get REALLY BUDDY-BUDDY with them so they can help you out on the tricky areas!

Or something

you gotta tell us more about this job, also, i'm not sure what a technical support engineer is

This week you're going to study keigo! :D

And you have a good grasp of keigo just in the general sense of knowing how Japanese social groups work, I think. Like, the different levels of relation between people based on roles at work, experience, age, gender, etc.

Even native speakers, my co-worker Ayaka being a prime example, struggle with keigo. I imagine people are also going to give you a break because you're An American, too.

But still, this week you're going to study keigo. 8D
