Mandatory Japanese Phrases in Business Scenes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- I’ve received some messages through Instagram about working in Japan.
The people that gave me DMs were worried that because their Japanese is not so good, they would not be able to be hired by the companies.
Learning a language to a business level is very difficult, and all you can do is to continue studying.
But then, is there nothing you can do to be prepared?
My answer is NO.
What I recommend is to learn about the “basic business rules” in Japan, which is much easier than trying to have perfect Japanese.
Acquiring basic business rules will not only be appreciated and admired by companies, but will also set you apart from other workers who are not familiar with said rules.
So today, as a man who has worked at three different Japanese companies before, and now running my own, I would like to explain to you 12 basic greeting phrases that are used at many business scenes.
Also, at the end of the video, I will explain about the proper posture for bowing in Japan too, that also might be something interesting to learn about.
This video is perfect not just for those who are willing to work in Japan, but also to those who will study in Japan and communicate with any sensei or senpai in the future.

A common mistake made by foreigners when bowing in Japan is to press their hands together as they do it.
But as far as I'm aware, the only times when Japanese press their hands together are before meals and after meals.
Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
Yes, it would be usually before and after a meal, or possibly at shrines and temples!😊
I think this mix up comes from Budhism. There is also the selfless aspect of Zen Budhism and conversation in Japan and knowing the two you can see that they are deeply intertwined.
I would love it if you did more culture oriented language lessons. One, you are good at explaining and presenting and two you are culturally focused in a way that very few language teachers are. Also you have a very smooth voice that many language learners would like to learn to emulate
I totally agree with this!!
I'm learning Japanese myself and It would help me a lot!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
Could you please tell me specifically what you mean by “cultural language?”😵
Do you mean by for example the dialects in Japan?
@@LetsaskShogo Hmm honestly if you just keep making the kinds of videos you are already making, but added more language discussion including phrases and terminology in Japanese surrounding the topics you already do videos on, I think that's kinda what I'm thinking of. Or just more of this type of video. It's really helpful! Business language is one of those cultural things that people from other countries like the US won't even have a concept of. Of course only do it if you enjoy it, the content you're making now is fantastic!
Please make a video about the history of Yakuza.
Also, I have a curiosity, if the Samurai people joined and carried forward the Yakuza after they lost their power and privileges Post-Meiji Restoration?
I already actually have a book about their history😊
It will be coming soon in the future!
@@LetsaskShogo thanks ❤️
This channel is becoming one, if not one of my favorites, and I've only started watching it a couple of days ago!!! I've haven't spent much time in mainland Japan, but I have spent a combined two years stationed in Okinawa. Please keep the videos and lessons coming!! Obrigado (arigato)!
I think this is a wonderful idea for a series of videos. Knowing a few phrases in a language is better that knowing none. It shows that the person has at least some respect for the culture. Maybe you can do one or more for common phrases that a visitor might need.
I really enjoyed the video, it reminded me of the days when I was studying japanese!
“You shouldn’t bow as you look at the other persons eyes” are there people who actually do that? Can you imagine how uneasy this makes you feel, just intuitively? 😂
Thank you very much. This was very informative. I would like to see more of this. Stay safe!
I came here immediately after the stream Ended!
I need more of this.
MORE!!!!
I'm loving this stuff, man!
thank you very much mr.shogo now i little bit understand how to use proper word in business from japan once again thank you from subscriber from Indonesia

Thank you so much for this video, it will help in the future.
I’m very glad you say so!
Shogo, great job! Does everyone know about your daily livestream on Instagram? It’s a fun community that you are creating!
I’m sorry that you finished this video before me * bows *

The breakdowns in this video are really helpful! I especially like the example conversations. (But, in 8, you said 疲 = "tu" -- isn't it "tsu"?)
Just a typo
It must be hard for any Japanese citizens on autism spectrum to keep a job. Formal and professional language in the workplace in english is difficult not to misspeak but I'd imagine it'd be even harder in Japanese. I'd be curious to hear more about how learning how to pick up up on social cues in Japan might be different, everything seems so subtle.
So, it's not about business things, but what about sitting bow? When you are sitting on the floor, put your fists behind you and bow before person you very admire.
Is it still in use or it left only in historical movies?
0:48 in English I'd say YES (you can) instead of NO (you cannot).
How deeply sorry do you have to be to warrant doing the dogeza bowing? Or even the jumping dogeza?
Why does he always say to play the video at 1.25x - 2x speed in the beginning? The speed is fine
in the second phrase, why is the first two kanji cencored?
It's acutally not censored but the way to write (blank) in Japanese. The sentence roughly means "I'll be going to (blank) shortly." So you can put anything in there :)
@@aeternusvotum thank you for your explanation!
17:88 Maybe a very specific question, but what are non-binary people supposed to do? I would like to be able to bow properly and respectfully too.
Well, that concept doesn’t really exist in Japan.
There is nothing that I know of in English, that says you can'say "goodbye" to you boss.
I have spoken English pretty much all my life and we really don't have a formal way of saying goodbye, maybe Thank you for your time? But even then, mostly it's just goodbye or nothing.
