Don’t just memorize keigo! Learn useful workplace expressions in chunks and practice using them in real situations.

Description

When working at a Japanese company, you may find yourself wondering:

“I studied keigo, but what should I actually say at work?”
“Is this the right way to report something to my manager?”
“How can I politely explain that I can’t complete a task as requested?”

These situations happen all the time in the Japanese workplace.

In this lesson, I use my own professional experience in systems and infrastructure-related work and as an area manager to teach practical expressions commonly used in Japanese workplaces.

Instead of memorizing lots of complicated keigo rules, you’ll learn useful expressions as ready-to-use chunks, such as:

確認いたします。
I’ll check.

念のため確認させてください。
Let me confirm just to make sure.

〇〇という認識でよろしいでしょうか。
Is my understanding correct that ...?

確認して折り返します。
I’ll check and get back to you.

申し訳ありません。少しお時間をいただけますか。
I’m sorry, but could you give me a little more time?

現時点では〇〇の状況です。
At the moment, the situation is ...

The goal is to learn Japanese that you can actually use at work.

Choose the Situation You Want to Practice

For example:

Reporting & Consulting with Your Manager
Giving progress updates / reporting problems / asking your manager for a decision

Confirming Instructions
Asking questions / asking someone to repeat or clarify / confirming your understanding

Making Requests
Asking a colleague or manager for help / confirming deadlines

Saying No & Negotiating
Explaining that you cannot finish something today / suggesting another date / politely explaining what you cannot do

Mistakes & Problems
Reporting a mistake / apologizing / explaining the current situation and next steps

IT & Office Communication
Reporting an error / checking with the person in charge / giving status updates / reporting that an issue has been resolved

You can choose the situation that is most useful for your work.

50-Minute Lesson Flow

① Situation
Understand a realistic workplace scenario

② Chunks
Learn 3–5 useful expressions for that situation

③ Practice
Practice short conversations using the expressions

④ Role-play
Practice with me as your manager, colleague, customer, etc.

⑤ Your Situation
Use what you learned to talk about situations from your own workplace

For example:

Manager: 「この資料、今日中にお願いできますか?」
“Could you finish this document by the end of today?”

But you already have other work and cannot finish it today.

What would you say in Japanese?

We’ll practice with realistic situations you may actually encounter at work.

Feedback After the Lesson

After the lesson, I’ll send you personalized feedback including:

✓ Today’s Key Chunks
✓ Good Points
✓ Corrections / More Natural Expressions
✓ Useful Expressions for Your Job
✓ Next Challenge

You don’t need to spend the whole lesson worrying about perfect keigo.

The most important thing is to try using Japanese in realistic workplace situations.
