-
Many of you guys want to come to Japan to explore the country, discover the history, eat some food!!!
-
But some of you also want to come here to have like a business experience here
-
Working in Japan can be an amazing experience!
-

For me one of the best things about working in Japan is of course the diff...
-
I CAN'T SAY THIS LINE!!!!!!
-
One of the best things about working in Japan is the cultural differences compared to more Western-like business culture
-
And what I find interesting is the Japanese expressions you use like almost every day at work that just...
-
...doesn't translate to English!
-
Today I picked up 3 of my favorite Japanese expressions
-
The first sentence is "Otsukaresama desu"
-
This phrase actually has a looot of different meanings like:
-
"Thanks for your hard work", "cheers!"
-
You will hear it all the time
-
When you walk by a colleague in the hallway..
-
You say it!
-
When you enter the office
-
You say it!
-
When you leave the office
-
You say it!
-
On the other hand in western countries its more casual like:
-
Hi!
-
Or "hey!"
-
Or "Good Morning!"
-
The second phrase you will hear every day is Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu
-
This sentence is also like...it means....
-
"I trust that you...eerrr....."
-
"Please treat me well... no"
-
It's kind of the equivalent of "I look forward to working with you"
-
Although in English we don't use it as much as we use "Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu" in Japanese
-
I don't know, you say it like once in a meeting or in a mail, in Japan it's like...
-
...every freakin' second!
-
The third and last one is "Osewa ni natteorimasu"
-
This one you use at the beginning of every phone conversation or at the beginning of a mail with a client
-
The meaning is "Thank you for taking care of me"
-
which in English would sound a little creepy
-
Hello?
-
Thank you for taking care of me.....
-
So that was like my 3 favorite expressions you use everyday in a Japanese office
-
I'm probably gonna make 1 or 2 more videos about working in Japan so
-
if you have any questions please post them in the comments!
-
As for my Japanese viewers who want to do business abroad, there's a really cool website
-
called VoiceTube where you can practice Business level English
